Wow, With 500 kilometers of tunnels there are some things we can assume. They have power, communication, living quarters, eating quarters, stores, rocket manufacturing capabilities. They have meeting rooms, store rooms, apartments, and various layers of tunnels. There is probable a public layer with a complete town, shops, barbers, stores, restaurants, as well as military layer. These tunnels are going to have hospitals, schools, some civilian shelters, apartments, showers, wells and restrooms. One could build everything one would need underground. One could drill a well for water and build a septic tank sewage system. (or just pump it out above ground). There are going to be seperate tunnels for ventilation, most tunnels probable have multiple ways in and out. In Vietnam, they had controlled ventilation with water filled traps. Most of the important people have been living and working in the tunnels for years at this point as it is a safe place where people can meet and cell phones don't work. In WW2 Americans found it easier to just seal Japanese soldiers into the tunnels than go in and fight them. They have probably thought about this as well. Giving all the tunnels multiple enterances, and then having multiple ways in and multiple ways of sealing the tunnels. If the tunnels are in layers, if one layer is compromised, you can escape down to a another layer and then move out. the tunnels probably have air locks to stops flooding the tunnels with fumes, and probable have lots of alternative air sources. There is probablly compressed air that can be be distributed into certain sections. They probably have sections with video monitoring, and sections of tunnels with the purpose to stop enemy flooding. There is probable internet, and old fashion phone lines working through large sections of it. Some tunnels are probable used primarily for moving people, others for moving goods. Some are probable one way tunnels. If I can think of all this in just a few minutes, people working on the tunnels for years have probably thought up much better stuff.

In the case of robots, a threshold would need to be crossed: autonomous robots with offensive capabilities. A wire would be possible though would make the system vulnerable.

I know there's a reason but I'll ask anyway. Why can't the Israelis simply divert seawater into the tunnels and flood them? Or put a deep lake paralleling the border so that tunnelers get a bath if they encounter it?

@@lemonnade5974 The hostages being valuable as trading commodities is the reason that they focused on capturing so many. They think they will get things for them. There is a reason to not negotiate with terrorists, it just makes more terrorists. As soon as they see that there will be no trading they will not go for hostages next time. Being weak and trading for hostages causes more people to become hostages later.

When you have Iran and Russia and other Islamic people supplying Hamas with funds for rockets, guns, mortars, grenades, etc. it is no problem getting tunnel building equipment. As for the dirt there are always construction sites in a city so trucks hauling dirt is a common event that would not be noticed.

[@ShpanMan]

Where do you think all humanitarian donations go in Gaza? Not to civilian services obviously. Hamas has a monopoly on violence there, takes all the money to its terrorist activities and corrupt officers. Removing Hamas is a Palestinian interest more than anything.

Are you seriously defending the IDF and excusing the damage? The IDF spokesman said “the emphasis is on destruction not accuracy”, defence minister called Palestinians “human animals” and should be treated as such, prime minister promised to "flatten" Gaza. They've used illegal white phosphorus and the deaths, injuries, fear and destruction are certainly evident. They don't care about international law or civilian life.

For without cause they have hidden their net for me in a pit, which they have dug without cause for my life. Let destruction come upon him unexpectedly, And let his net that he has hidden catch himself; Into that very destruction let him fall.

Gaza and Israel have a border where one authority ends and the other begins. That is the border that was breached on October 7th. The movement across that border is what you are hearing about. However the world sends in billions of dollars of aid including building material for rebuilding after each war, much of which is siphoned off by terrorists groups to build military infrastructure like that shown in the video
