Adina Says Bibi’s Army Don’t Know Zilch About Gaza Tunnels

The Israeli media quoted Adina Moshe, a former Israeli captive held by Hamas in Gaza, as saying the Israeli internal security service (Shabak) asked her to draw a map of the tunnels in Gaza, “because they don’t know anything about them.”

Moshe, who was released in a previous exchange deal last November, told the Shabak investigator who visited her after her release that the tunnels in the Gaza Strip are “a huge, large labyrinth that extends underground throughout the Strip, and military pressure will not help bring back the prisoners.”

She said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is lying, and that he and the army do not know anything about the tunnels of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in the Gaza Strip.

During her speech at the protests demanding a prisoner exchange deal with Gaza, Moshe noted that the Shin Bet investigator asked her to explain what Hamas’s tunnels looked like, what their branches were and where they were located, which made it clear to her that the Israeli security services knew nothing about the tunnels.

Moshe told the investigator that the tunnels were “a huge, vast labyrinth that runs underground across the entire Strip. It’s not one tunnel, but a network of endless tunnels.”

When they asked her to draw the tunnels in Gaza, Moshe told the Shin Bet that she wasn’t a painter, which she considered further proof that they knew nothing about them.

The New York Times reported last week that the tunnels in Gaza were an underground nightmare for the Israeli army and the core of Hamas’s ability to survive.

According to the newspaper, Israeli intelligence officials estimate that there are about 160 kilometers of tunnels under Khan Yunis, the second largest city in southern Gaza according to JO24.

The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) sounded the alarm on Saturday over a rapidly escalating humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip.

“All basic supplies are running out in Gaza. It means babies, children are going to bed hungry,” Juliette Touma, the agency’s director of communications, said in a statement.

“Six weeks into the Israeli-imposed siege blocking the entry of aid and commercial supplies, food stocks are nearly gone, bakeries closed, and hunger is spreading,” the agency also noted.

The UNRWA emphasized that “immediate action is needed to prevent a deepening humanitarian crisis.”

The Israeli army renewed a deadly assault on Gaza on March 18, shattering the ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement that took hold in January.

More than 50,900 Palestinians, most of them women and children, have been killed in Gaza in a brutal Israeli onslaught since October 2023.

The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants last November for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
