fortified underground bunkers some 40 meters (roughly 120 feet) underground


During the first gulf war, Iraq was said to have similar bunkers that could hold a battalion. Built by British engineers and blah blah blah.
Fortified caves and covered trenches maybe with a Saddam pit I might believe. But not this as described in the article.

Whatever it was, it did wack the Israelis Special Forces.

From an American point of view, those are all fanatical Japanese willing to die for their Emperor. They have been waiting years for offensive forces to come into their field of fire.
