The IDF launched a broad attack last night (Monday) against the third part of the "Gaza Metro", with the aim of damaging 15 km of additional tunnels, except for the tens of kilometers that have already collapsed following the air force attack. Security officials say that in total, the IDF attacked about 100 kilometers of tunnels under Gaza City during the operation.
In the IDF's General Staff view, this is the most important dimension, since all areas are based on it. Therefore, it was decided to promote it even at a price that would not kill hundreds of fighters, who in the first place were not defined as a target in the attack. The IDF insists that the high death toll was not set as a target in the first attack on the metro, but rather the destruction of the infrastructure on which Hamas worked for many years. Shortly after the end of the first attack, Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Aviv Kochavi met with Defense Minister Bnei Gantz. Prolonged hug.It was no longer a "hello hello" hug.

One of the objectives of Operation Wall Guards was to attack and severely hit a number of areas in the military arm of Hamas and Islamic Jihad: steep runway (rockets and mortar shells), command and control sites, tunneling forces operating in tunnels, naval launching forces, skimmers and aircraft Production of weapons and military intensification.
A central goal was set for all of them: the world of tunnels.
The world of Hamas tunnels under Gaza and its outskirts stretches over more than a hundred kilometers. Its accurate map, which knows how to lead commanders and fighters to every branch and endpoint, is defined as one of Hamas' biggest secrets. In the Gaza Strip to the border with Israel, a fundamentally wrong thought.

In the last ten years, Hamas has created a lower city made up of more than a hundred kilometers of branching tunnels, street names and numbers, sensitive sites, hundreds of rooms and wide headquarters deep underground. The Nuhaba fighters arrive in civilian clothes. Under each commander's house there is a tunnel that leads him to the metro. To escape the eyes of Israeli intelligence, the fighters go down to the tunnel and immediately afterwards receive the equipment and weapons adapted for each of them's fighting.
Instead of command rooms, rooms you would be senior commanders and means of ICT and control, including energy that allows a long stay underground without external electricity.
Hamas also built rocket and mortar launch sites with the ability to charge and re-arm while fighting, launching anti-tank and observation sites, gathering intelligence, sniping and assembling explosives. The Nuhaba forces, defined as Hamas' elite forces, have developed a special method of abducting soldiers using A tunnel that was successfully tried in Operation Eitan, during the abduction of the late fighter Oron Shaul and the late Lt. Hadar Goldin.

According to security sources, Hamas has not only intensified the branching of the tunnels over the past seven years, but has opened more shafts and strengthened them to withstand IDF attacks and allow terrorists to move from place to place and mound IDF fighters when they rise above ground for a very short time.
The terrorists fire, return to the tunnel, go out elsewhere in the same compound and return, God forbid, to make it difficult to identify their exact location.
Do not let go.

Another area is the ability to turn a component in a tunnel into a powerful explosive device, over which a tank or anti-tank vehicle could pass and explode. My security told Walla !: "It is too early to determine how many were killed under him, Hamas itself does not know.
Despite this, our achievement was the denial of this ability, because once you hit the 'Gaza Metro' you hit all the other areas and offset their capabilities.
There will be more surprises on the subject. "
