The radical group Hamas has accumulated fuel, food and medicine reserves in underground tunnels in the Gaza Strip, sufficient for 3-4 months of conflict. This was reported by New York Times He cited officials familiar with the situation.
“Hamas has hundreds of thousands of gallons of fuel for vehicles and rockets; The interlocutors who spoke to NYT said that food, water and medicine supplies were also provided, as well as ammunition, explosives and material warehouses to do more.
As the material suggests, the radical group “spent years building tens of kilometers of tunnels in which almost everything necessary for a long-term struggle was collected.”
A senior Lebanese official told the publication that Hamas has enough supplies to fight for three to four months without renewal.
It also appears from the text that Hamas produces its own weapons in underground bunkers and has learned to shield production from Israeli surveillance systems.
On October 7, Hamas launched thousands of rockets into Israel and announced the start of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood. Thousands of militants invaded Israeli territory, seizing dozens of military equipment and more than a hundred hostages. Against this background, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu announced that the country was at war.
The Israel Defense Forces intervention operation was called “Iron Swords” and one of its goals was the destruction of Hamas. Israeli air forces launched strikes against hundreds of Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip, and Israel’s National Security Council decided to cut off water, food, supplies, electricity and fuel supplies to the strip.
