Even during World War II, when Britain fought Germany, there was no underground city; instead, tunnels were used.<\/p>\n<p>Al-Tuwairi emphasized that shelters worldwide are designated safe areas, and public shelters, recognized in international law, are not to be targeted, similar to hospitals, places of worship like mosques and churches, and schools.<\/p>\n<p>He concluded, &#8216;Do not blame Hamas, as it did not build an underground city. There is no such thing as underground cities, not even in America or anywhere in the world. There are internationally agreed-upon public spaces, such as shelters, that are not subject to bombardment.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Tariq Al-Tuwairi added that constructing an underground facility requires high costs, maintenance, ventilation, and drainage. It is within Hamas&#8217;s right to take precautions, especially since it is in a state of war. Many of the tunnels in Gaza were built by Israelis, as they have admitted, particularly beneath Al-Shifa Hospital when they occupied Gaza during a certain period.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3340\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3340\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3340 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Hamas-Tunnels-3.jpg\" alt=\" Tunnels in Gaza\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Hamas-Tunnels-3.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Hamas-Tunnels-3-390x220.jpg 390w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Hamas-Tunnels-3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Hamas-Tunnels-3-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Hamas-Tunnels-3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Hamas-Tunnels-3-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Hamas-Tunnels-3-450x253.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3340\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">shelters for Palestinians<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Hamas Tunnels: Israel&#8217;s Nightmare<\/h3>\n<p>The British newspaper &#8220;Financial Times&#8221; reported, citing informed sources, that the Israeli army estimates the network of tunnels of the Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, in Gaza to be larger than the London Underground tunnel network.<\/p>\n<p>Quoting a security official in the occupying state, the newspaper added that the term &#8216;tunnels&#8217; does not adequately describe what Hamas has constructed beneath the Gaza Strip; rather, they are underground cities.<\/p>\n<p>Financial Times noted that the resistance in Gaza has learned from previous attacks aimed at destroying the tunnels in the region.<\/p>\n<p>The report clarified that the Israeli government invests resources in finding a solution to destroy the tunnels, but the process resembles science fiction.<\/p>\n<p>Yossi Feldshuh, an 85-year-old hostage released by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/2023\/12\/05\/israeli-reservist-general-admits-challenges-in-eliminating-hamas\/\">Hamas<\/a> in October, described the tunnel network as a &#8220;sophisticated spiderweb&#8221; with a length of &#8220;kilometers&#8221; and a &#8220;large hall&#8221; capable of accommodating 25 people.
