Military asserts that senior Hamas officials Yahya Sinwar and Muhammad Deif hid in underground passages just below bustling commercial square during October 7 assault on Israel
The IDF announced on Thursday that it had demolished a major Hamas tunnel network hidden under Gaza City’s Palestine Square.
According to the military, Hamas’s most senior officials hid underground in the tunnel network when the terror group launched its October 7 onslaught on southern Israel.
The underground network connected to the homes, offices and hideout apartments of senior Hamas officials, including Muhammad Deif, the elusive leader of the terror group’s military wing, and Yahya Sinwar, the top Hamas official in Gaza.
The IDF scanned inside the tunnels and obtained intelligence from them in recent days, it said. The military said the demolition was carried out by the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit and the 401st Armored Brigade.
On Tuesday, the IDF gave the media, including The Times of Israel, a tour of the square and the entrances to the tunnels.
Palestine Square is located in the upscale Rimal neighborhood of Gaza City, an area that before the war was seen as the power center of the enclave’s elite, home to top officials from the terror group ruling the Strip. The humming center of Palestinian retail and commercial activity hid an extensive warren of Hamas tunnels used by the terror group’s top officials to hide from Israel, the IDF revealed to reporters joining the tour.

Big boom
The strategic tunnel network in the militant “Senior Quarter” in the Gaza Strip was destroyed

I guess we can see where that tunnel network went.
Excellent picture. I’d like to see these Gazan criminals blown up in a similar way.
Imagine if they devoted the same time and effort to improving their lives.
Blowed up real good. Now for the rest of the city.
They don’t want peace, prosperity, or to raise successful happy children.
They only want to die while trying to kill Jews.
Let them have their wish. Die.
BRAVO, IDF!
That left a mark…ouch!
Has the 121 sq miles that is Gaza, started settling yet, from all those blown-up, collapsed tunnels?
Turn on the big pumps and flood those tunnels with ocean water. There is a huge supply just to the west!🙄
I wouldn’t expect the whole place to collapse; even large tunnels are small by comparison to an area measured in square miles. The problem is, you don’t really know where the tunnels really are. You don’t know where a collapse is likely.
In parts of West Virginia, homeowners can get “mine insurance”, to cover the possibility of an old, poorly mapped underground coal mine collapsing under their property.
If the Israeli left had been in power, those tunnels would still be there, and Israel would continue to be ruled by its unelected leftist judges.
Then blow up everything above ground and salt the earth with high-level nuclear waste.
The Obama Gang of Criminals at the White House already have plans to send them money to rebuild as a soon as the IDF leaves
That makes sense.
5 pumps are active in the north - more are working on the big tunnel that stretches from the green houses on the Israeli side to the green houses south of Khan Younis
