DamarcusArt, So the thing I don’t get with this “secret invisible tunnel network” bullshit is that if Hamas has built a series of tunnels so deep underground they are unaffected by bombs and missiles striking the buildings above, why the fuck does Israel keep bombing all their buildings?

Dessa, Israel is hesitant to enter the subterranean Hamas Fortress for fear that they may encounter something Fun
WittyProfileName2, Breaking news:
Hamas reportedly digging all but thin wall against a lava lake in order to create a “fuck the world device”.
Witnesses have reported hearing rallying cries of “we’re pulling a Boatmurdered, lads.”
emizeko, why doesn’t Hamas simply fill minecarts with magma to render them invisible?
Shinji_Ikari, The best part about this is it insinuates the bombings of the surface are basically pointless aside from terror.
Awoo, Not just pointless. Actively bad.
If you wanted to block up those vents you need access to them. If you’ve buried them beneath tonnes of rubble you’re never going to access them and they’re going to function just fine 90% of the time.
Good luck finding them though. I’m also inclined to believe that it isn’t an interconnected system of tunnels but instead several different groups of tunnels.
wtypstanaccount04, Can we get Hamas to do subway construction for cheap?
InevitableSwing, The rumors are true? Buttigieg’s secret-but-not-so-secret meeting in Qatar is on?

InevitableSwing, History doesn’t repeat but it does tunnel.
I can hear convos from the future in my head…
MSNBC anchor: “Some people are appalled by the loss of life after the Israeli airstrike on the underground tunnel complex that resulted in approximately 700 civilians dying in or near the hospital. Can you show us what happened on the board?”
Mark “Mac” McStronger, frm. Sub-Commander at MidEast Command: “Sure.” Oops. Fuck. Too conversational. “We always regret the loss of civilian life but as you can see here - the estimated location of the highly fortified bunker was at least 100 feet underground. That being the case…”
Mark “Mac” McStronger had never been on tv before but due to his acumen and wisdom and by that I mean his strong jawline, relative youth, towering height, and handsomeness - he quickly becomes a network favorite natsec go-to guy. There is much unhappiness among the other natsec guys who have none of those qualities. And by that - I mean the important ones. They don’t even have full heads of hair.
