    Wtf is that mean. Tunnels aren’t communication devices. Also Hezbollah famously has vast tunnel networks under southern Lebanon.

      It means you have to actually go to the tunnels and fight, like the IDF is doing.

        Ah yes, I love going into tunnels by bombing hospitals and orphanages full of civilians, it’s my favorite method. Also, are you suggesting that hamas doesn’t use communication technology?

          Why is a military tunnel under a hospital? (I don’t believe that Gaza had a single orphanage.)

            First of all, I’m pretty sure it was proven not to be, but you can fact check me on that. Second, if it were there, it likely wasn’t intentional. Third, they could have bombed the tunnel without hitting the hospital, because it wouldn’t have only been under the hospital. Fourth, and again you can fact check me in this, but it would be pretty strange for a large city to have no orphanages.

              Second, if it were there, it likely wasn’t intentional.

              It connects to, and opens into, a hospital referred to by the New York Times in 2008 as “the de facto headquarters of Hamas.” So clearly pretty intentional.

              Third, they could have bombed the tunnel without hitting the hospital

              They did bomb the tunnel without hitting the hospital.

              Fourth, and again you can fact check me in this, but it would be pretty strange for a large city to have no orphanages.

              There are zero orphanages in any American city, for instance. Not strange at all. Orphanages are kind of an archaic and disused way to handle the case of orphaned children - modern societies use a foster system, instead. Gazans simply don’t care so they make no provision at all if the family doesn’t step up, so they don’t run orphanages either.
