Inside one of Hamas' 'largest tunnels' in Gaza

Sky's correspondent Nicole Johnston has been shown what the Israel Defence Forces says is the largest Hamas tunnel it has discovered in Gaza.

The IDF has given a media tour of the tunnel which is just a few hundred metres from the Erez border crossing with Israel. It says it runs 2 miles into the city.

The tunnel has electricity and is large enough to fit a car through with a railway track at its entrance.

Can SKY “news”, be more excited about how cool the tunnels are🤷‍♂️

[ZandeKongo]

It's funny how these tunnels are always empty when the IDF "find" them. 😂

Imagine how much labor, time and money spent building these things! Just imagine if it was spent on other things

[karlphillips]

It is good to see where all the money being directed, basically infrastructure projects while the general population suffer. If only they directed that effort into peace and improving the lives of normal people above the tunnels, but they were never going to do that. Seems like a lot of wasted effort, money and resources now they have been discovered that could have done so much good.

They haven’t found the tunnel that runs all the way to Iran yet

[freedomofmotion]

Man wait until they find out about the vast network of tunnels under London they'll have a fit.

[lamegalectora]

Amazing, an open air prison with expensive underground tunnels…

[Jonayofsweden]

Cement, electricity cables and a pipe?! Wow. That's some next level technology.

Why note report while walking through the tunnels?

[hannacook]

Why were no civilians allowed to seek shelter in the tunnels?
And the tunnels are lit, why did power go to tunnels and not hospitals?

[davidrobertsemail]

When reporting on these tunnels reporters should point out the massive cost of building them. If the aid we gave to Gaza was spent above ground they would be a wealthy thriving society.

[ignmorales]

They’ve talked for decades about the tunnels. Yet, they started destroying above ground like they were those tunnels…

[nlgvjvk]

This tunnel network sounds better than London's underground. Impressive absolutely fascinating. I'm lost for words but at the same time in awe for the ingenuity of whoever built those TUNNELS. Us IRISH were quite good in construction. Did we perhaps have a hand in it I wonder

[vkdwerh]

This is not the largest Hamas tunnel, but rather just a tunnel that is out of service, because the most important tunnels contain weapons and commanders, and they reach a depth of 500 meters.

[stephenbroadhurst]

I’m fed up of seeing the same tunnel over and over again, surely there must be more than one captured. The other thing is that there is no evidence of combat in any tunnel yet.

[michaelcoward]

Is this a "Hamas Tunnel" the same way that Hospital Shift rota was a "Hamas Rota"?

[jabbadabbajew]

I’d heard she’s the largest tunnel under Gaza.

[yupjfqz]

Why does the reporter look so excited, like she as Disney world or has discovered gold mine?

[yupjfqz]

I don’t think anything wrong with gazans building tunnels for their own military purpose. They are not allowed to have mass destruction weapons, like every other country, so why not built a tunnels.
Very sophisticated of them.

The same type of tunnels found in england
