The Gaza Strip's tunnel network, known as the 'Gaza Metro,' plays a crucial role in the conflict between Hamas and Israel. Originating in the 1990s for smuggling, these tunnels have evolved into a strategic weapon for Hamas, facilitating attacks, logistics, and defense. Despite Israel's efforts to counter this threat, including a $1.1bn 'Iron Wall' project completed in 2019, Hamas continues to use and expand the tunnel network. The ongoing struggle reflects the complexity of targeting an extensive subterranean network and the dynamic nature of the conflict.
