The deck: “A supply near Hamas’s political management says the group believes it could defeat Israel however acknowledges the heavy value being paid by these on the bottom.” Good overview. On the tunnels:
Whereas Hamas didn’t foresee an Israeli response on this scale, it has an intensive community of tunnels, which run for “many a whole lot of kilometres”, MEE was instructed by one other supply.
The concept that Hamas would stop to function if it misplaced Gaza Metropolis, which the Israeli forces try to encircle, is subsequently much less probably.

How the Hostage Disaster May Finish Seymour Hersh. “An Israeli professional on the area, who is aware of of the seriousness of present hostage talks, shocked me by depicting Sinwar as somebody ‘who might be open to a deal.’” So, dueling leaks, FT v. Hersh. In the meantime, Hersh on the tunnels:
The Israeli army and political management are starting to see the outcomes of a rigorously deliberate finish recreation that can be murderous—there is no such thing as a different phrase for it—to the members of the Hamas army now being hunted down within the tunnels and rubble of Gaza Metropolis. The orders are to shoot to kill on sight. The collapse [hmmm] of the army wing of Hamas has given the group’s political management, who declare to haven’t been immediately concerned within the planning for the October 7 bloodbath, an opportunity to reveal their good will and save their very own lives by arranging for Israeli hostages to be transferred to a basement within the besieged al-Shifa hospital [hmmm], lengthy a stronghold of Hamas. Some Israeli officers concern that point is working out as a result of it’s not recognized how lengthy the air within the tunnels can be breathable.
In the meantime, the Hamas troopers nonetheless alive within the tunnels beneath Gaza can be suffocating quickly from a scarcity of recent air, as there’s little gasoline left to run the mills mandatory for a relentless stream of oxygen. Meals can be getting rancid and water provides could also be working low. The greater than 2 hundred miles of tunnels will inevitably change into a demise lure, making life under floor as troublesome as it’s above.
I’m however a humble blogger liable to hypothesis, but when Hersh (and his sources) are proper, Hamas didn’t recreation out the Israeli assault, and not one of the a whole lot of miles or tunnels result in a gasoline supply. (NOTE Pure tunnel air flow can also be doable. Absolutely tunnels had been usable earlier than mills?) If that’s the case, Hamas is a one-shot marvel. Might be! Let’s wait and see.
