The Israel Defense Forces introduced a new method of conducting underground warfare on Tuesday, in preparation for a war with either Hezbollah or Hamas.
The method, which has been developed since the Second Lebanon War and Operation Cast Lead, is meant to combat the underground tunnel systems used by Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in the Gaza Strip, which are often used for weapons transfers.
The IDF believes that in Lebanon, the Hezbollah has dozens of underground bases, from which the organization operates its rocket launching operations.
Hamas, in the Gaza Strip, is running a similar underground system, including dozens of “combat tunnels” connecting Gaza homes, including “kidnapping tunnels” - through which kidnapped soldiers maybe taken, as well as “terror tunnels” used to move weapons. more
