The war between Hamas and Israel has been going on for more than a month. The densely built underground city is preventing the IDF from quickly clearing the Gaza Strip. It has even been proposed to run water and gas into the tunnels.

However, no one will do this, because terrorists are holding hostages in the underground city. Military expert Grigory Tamar shared this information with Channel 24 , adding that there is an alternative option for clearing the tunnels without harming the hostages.

How to clear the tunnels under the Gaza Strip

As the military expert emphasized, the liquidation of Hamas is equivalent to rescuing hostages from a dungeon in the Gaza Strip. Israeli intelligence searches for and destroys diesel fuel warehouses and Hamas diesel power plants, thanks to which the ventilation in the tunnels operates. After all, without ventilation it is impossible to stay in an underground city.

It's much easier than digging canals and pumping water. Good in theory, but different in practice. Allowing our hostages to die because we flooded them with water is probably not a good idea. – emphasized Grigory Tamar.

Israel is making interesting tactical steps to resolve the military situation with Hamas. In addition, no country has fought in such conditions as Jerusalem. After all, the Israelis are conducting not only a ground operation, but also an underground one, where the length of the tunnels is more than 500 kilometers.
