Using dogs, ‘sponge bombs’ and search-and-destroy teams, Israel’s ground invasion depends on clearing the underground network, which could be as long as 300 miles
The Israel-Gaza war may be won, or lost, underground.
At the al-Shifa hospital in Gaza, Palestinian doctors are relying on a dwindling supply of electricity to keep patients alive: 55 prematurely born babies are depending on generators for their survival, according to one doctor quoted by Reuters last week.
Yet beneath their feet Israel alleges that Hamas has stockpiled, for its own aims, enough fuel to power the generators of Gaza’s largest hospital and keep the incubators running.
