Military experts said such construction techniques are associated with groups known for building tunnels in the Middle East, including Hamas and Hezbollah ynet|02.25.26 | 18:07
Polish border authorities have uncovered several underground tunnels allegedly used to smuggle migrants from Belarus into Poland, and officials suspect the structures may have been built with the help of specialists from the Middle East, according to a report Wednesday in Britain’s Daily Telegraph.

A global threat
If only there was a way of identifying Koranimals....
If only Poland, Ukraine, Belarus and Russia were UNITED with the rest of Europe in EXPELLING ALL MUSLIMS from the continent, instead of spending 4 years trying to kill each other.
Come on, Europeans love wars. Both World wars started in Europe. Even inside one country they fight each other such as in Ireland.
Only Hamas knows how to build tunnels! Those cartel tunnels under our own border? It’s actually Hamas.
It’s not exclusive to Europe.
Besides the Mahabharata which is basically a catacylsmic war, you have the Kalinga extermination by the Mauryas.
The Cholas, Chalukyas, Harsha, Pallavas etc. also spent centuries bloodying each others, destroying each other’s temples, etc.
For over two centuries (8th–10th century), the Pratiharas, Palas, and Rashtrakutas fought a grueling series of wars for control of the city of Kannauj.
The Chola Empire of the south launched naval invasions against the Srivijaya (Indonesia/Malaysia) and marched north to the Ganges, displacing local rulers through military force to assert dominance over trade routes.
The Maratha cavalry (Bargis) in the 1700s launched a decade of raids into Bengal that are remembered as some of the most horrific events in Bengali history. Contemporary accounts, such as the Maharashtra Purana, describe Maratha soldiers cutting off the hands and noses of civilians, burning villages, and systematic looting. It is estimated that 400,000 Bengalis were killed during these raids. The destruction was so profound that it crippled the Bengali economy, arguably making it easier for the British East India Company to eventually take control.
The Marathas also campaigned heavily in the Tamil-speaking south (specifically around Thanjavur and Trichy). Maratha armies frequently looted temples and oppressed local Tamil populations to extract “Chauth” (a 25% protection tax). Maratha forces were known for “scorched earth” tactics that led to widespread famine among local populations during their wars with the Mysore and various Southern Poligars.
The Europeans aren’t any more bloodthirsty than the other folks, they just got the ability to project destruction more effectively
As to “Even inside one country they fight each other such as in Ireland.”
This was basically two “nations” fighting within Ireland - the “Protestants” were pro-English crown, Scottish immigrants vs the native Irish.
This is no different than the clashes between Jain and Shaivites in the Pallava kingdom
