Israel has revealed what it says is the biggest tunnel its troops have ever discovered, as its army works to expose and destroy Hamas terrorists' sprawling underground city known as 'the Gaza Metro'.
Thought to stretch some 300 miles beneath the embattled enclave, Israeli soldiers have painstakingly sought to locate every entrance to every passageway in the 'spider's web' of tunnels and make them unusable.
The network was instrumental to Hamas in organising the October 7 atrocities, which saw its fighters storm across the Israeli border and murder 1,200 people, and has been used as a hiding place for terrorists and their weapons.
Israel's Defence Forces spokesperson has now given journalists a tour of the extensive tunnel, which spokesperson Daniel Hagari said is wide enough to fit a car through and spans well over 2.5 miles (4km).
He said the tunnel had been built in order to carry out a terror attack, with its end just 400 metres (1,310ft) before the Erez Crossing - the barrier Hamas and other Palestinian terror groups smashed through to launch their bloody attack on Israel more than 70 days ago.
Hagari told reporters that this tunnel system alone cost 'millions of dollars', adding that it had been a project led by Mohammad Sinwar, the brother and right-hand man of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, and commander of Hamas' Khan Younis Battalion.
'We are going to enter the biggest tunnel we have found in Gaza, the biggest secret of [Mohammad] Sinwar, his subterranean tunnel project,' the commanding officer said as he led a triumphant tour of the underground lair.
The IDF has vowed to hunt down and kill Sinwar, who they say is hiding 'deep underground'.
IDF spokesperson Avijaa Adraei explained how the giant tunnel was unearthed.
'Attack operations were launched from the aforementioned tunnel targeting...

You’re not Israel hater Mehdi Hassan are you. The source for your garbage that Israel had an active role in creating Hamas. Put up or shut up
😆
**How do these creeps build a tunnel of that magnitude and no one seems to notice!?**
Yep, a whole lot of dirt went somewhere.
Please elaborate on Israel created Hamas..
I’m a student of history!
Where did they get the engineering expertise? That doesn’t make sense. Their populace for the most part are of just 6th grade level intelligence. I’m assuming, of course! Iran likely sent engineers there for the work as they are not a backward country - highly educated and intelligent..We saw that when so many came here in the late ‘70’s..
One of those early pictures from the video reminded me of the length of the Douglas Aircraft facility in Santa Monica when I worked there in the late ‘50’s. The one in the video that covered the whole area, not the narrow passage ones.
I saw only one end of the Douglas facility but never the other end and that was when we clocked in/out and then to our offices. Must have covered a city block...
That’s OK, there’s PLENTY of water in the med.
I watched ‘Exodus’ last night and
Deals with the devil happen,
Thanks
I dont think these creeps had a brain cell in buiding them but some one did and they had over 3000 years to do it.
Just pull a couple hundred miles of line charges through and touch em off.
Bought and paid for by the money we continue to shovel to the United Nations.
There has to be some sort of massive ventilation system to get oxygen that deep yes?
Israel wanted to play off Hamas against PLO. But Israel didn't anticipate Hamas dominating Gaza and kicking PLO out.
>> and no one seems to notice
Likely they were noticed. Imagine the power held by the keepers of intelligence.
Gaza is like a medium sized urban city, yes. 141 sq mi.
Yes, that is one interpretation. Very credible, I’d start there, and go further than that.
Yes, not “hundreds and hundreds of miles” by any means.
Don't underestimate your enemy. That's a good way to get real dead, real fast.
Yes, they're savages. Say the same thing of the Red Army, the Wehrmacht, the SS, the Imperial Japanese Army, the Imperial Japanese Navy, the Peoples Liberation Army, the Viet Cong, the Peoples Army of Viet Nam ...
None of whom were stupid. Hamas et. al. aren't stupid either.
They're evil.
Run Operation Feral Cowboy. Then flood the system. Then Carpet Bomb from the 3 Borders to the Beach. Let it cool off and Bulldoze the area flat. Build a Huge Resort.
Operation Feral Cowboy:
Texas has an abundance of Feral Hogs.
Park a C-5 Galaxy at the end of a taxiway with the rear ramp down and leave a trail of corn up the ramp with a one way gate and fill the cargo bay up, close the ramp and fly Porky and Friends on over to the East Side and offload them into a tunnel funnel.
Average Feral Hog are about 200 pounds each.
C-5 Galaxy can transport Maximum Cargo: 281,001 pounds (127,460 Kilograms).
281,001/200=1405 Little Piggies running amok in the tunnels.
