Hamas Tunnels • How They Are Made

Hamas tunnels use different tunnelling methods, ranging from simple manual strategies to slightly advanced methods like forepolling and drilling blasts.

They also employ reinforced concrete to support the underground structures, which are divided into approximately 7 to 8 levels deep underground.

These tunnels are intentionally dug deep to protect against bunker-buster bombs like the one mentioned.

The network comprises an estimated 1,300 tunnels, spanning a total length of around 500 kilometers which translates to 310 miles.

Some of these tunnels delve as deep as 70 meters (230 feet) underground.

Reports indicate that the majority of the tunnels are merely two meters high and two meters wide.
