Gaza Fedayeen's Initial Tunnel Ascent
The article reviews the history of Palestinians using tunnels in Gaza, noting that they began relying on them in the 1960s to confront Israeli occupation, especially after the 1967 setback. The tunnels were used for concealment, maneuvering, smuggling weapons, and guerrilla tactics, as a response to the UN's neglect and weak international measures. Following intense Israeli raids, the tunnel network became increasingly sophisticated, helping to counter the recent Israeli assault on Gaza and leading to significant Israeli casualties. The article emphasizes that underground areas were the only regions not controlled by Israel and that they played a crucial role in resisting the occupation.
