It comes amid concerns that Hamas is using fuel replacements brought into the area to power their massive tunnels. It is not fully known yet what exactly is inside of these tunnels used by Hamas.
2. Following pressure from the Americans, cell phone service and WiFi has been turned back on in the area.
Following intense pressure from the Americans, cell phone service and internet capabilities have returned to the area. Over the weekend, discussions took place to have the services brought back online due to their critical nature. US officials refused to budge on the demand that service be restored so Gazans had the ability to communicate with the outside world.
3. Hamas tunnels span hundreds of miles and reportedly contain thousands of traps inside of them.
Hamas massive 300 mile long collection of tunnels may be more than just a tunnel maze. According to reports, Hamas claimed over the weekend that it was ready for Israel’s ground operation and that its tunnels were essentially booby-trapped beyond comprehension.
