Official says without power, the ventilation systems in Hamas' tunnels won't work and leaders will be forced to leave tunnels or suffocate.
Hamas fears that in the coming days, the Gaza Strip will run out of fuel and there will be no electricity, which will cause the ventilation systems in the tunnels dug under the enclave to shut down, a security official told Walla today (Tuesday).
When the electricity runs out, the Hamas terrorists will be forced out of the tunnels into the open air, he claimed.
"According to a calculation made by the security establishment, and an analysis of the humanitarian situation in terms of supplies in general and the amount of fuel in particular in the Gaza Strip, in a short time we will see Hamas come under great pressure," said the source.
He also said that "the leaders, commanders, and activists - what interests the Hamas leadership is the fuel, not food and water. Why? Because most of its leadership and fighters are in tunnels deep underground. They need power to circulate air, operate the communication systems, and activate the rocket launchers."
"They do everything by remote control. Without electricity and without fuel for the generators, they cannot hide in the tunnels. Every day that passes increases their distress. That is why Hamas is under great pressure when they run out of fuel, we will see them come out.
Earlier today, the UNRWA refugee organization said that if fuel does not enter the Gaza Strip by tomorrow, the organization would be forced to stop its activities in Gaza.
IDF spokesman Daniel Hagari responded to the allegations and said: "Hamas has 500,000 liters of fuel, go ask them."

I would image they need large gensets to run the lights, fans, etc. As a example, a fired of mine once worked for a generator company. They had a bad storm and had multiple rentals out at local supermarkets, normally in the 300-500kw range. They would burn upwards of 20/gph at times when the stores were open and full of customers opening cooler doors, employees running the various depts etc.
It was easy to get a fuel truck in every 24-36 hours or so, in Gaza with no refineries or deliveries to ports, etc, that quickly becomes a problem.
robotic dogs?
I would flood the tunnels with sea water.
That would be my guess... This is likely to be based on wishful thinking.
Yep they have
Not regrettably, generators rely on some source of fuel, and with the fuel already in scarcity, generators won’t be cranking along for very much longer.
Suffocation may do more to clear out the Hamas rank and file than several divisions of IDF specialists. Bunker busters might also be brought in for the really hardened localities.
Hamas needs to join the Zero CO2 consortium.
Yes!!!! Why are these not gone!!!!
But they are trying to fight a ‘carbon neutral’ war, to keep poopy pants Biden happy, so they couldn’t target petroleum. </sarc>
I see no downside to this idea.
Another reason they may not have taken out the fuel yet - they have drones in the air to follow the ‘ants’ back to the nest, every time they fill up
I would hope that they had to REMAIN IN THE TUNNELS...THEY BUILT THEM...ENDORSE THEM!!!!
Easier to use intelligence to find the tunnel network entrance then drop some CS teargas into the tunnel using aleaf blower to move the gas thru the tunnels.
If they could collapse all of those tunnels, the Strip would make a dandy harbor.
If only Hamas had implemented the Green New Deal they would not be having a fuel crisis right now.
Actually, if you watch the various youtube videos coming out of Gaza you will note several highrise buildings with large solar panel arrays.
It has been noted that the bomb destroyed buildings were over the locations of vertical shafts to the main Hamas tunnel system.
Hamas did not believe the buildings and the solar arrays would be bombed into chunks and dust
Pump something poisonous into the tunnels...arsenic, chlorine...something slow and painful to die by.
