Hamas was too eager to pull 7,000 troops out of the ground and regain control of the Gaza Strip.The Israeli military announced that after the hostage exchange, the next stage of the Israeli army will oversee the demolition of all the ground systems in the Gaza Strip.
When 7000 Hamas militants crawled out of the ground in Gaza carrying dust, the situation across the Middle East was instantly stirred.
These soldiers, dressed in civilian clothes or police uniforms, took over the Urban area of Gaza with lightning speed within 48 hours of the Israeli army's withdrawal-setting up checkpoints, clearing pro-Israeli forces, and restarting water and electricity supplies so fast that the international community had no time to respond.
The Israeli military’s immediate follow-up to the “decommissioning plan”, more like a heavy kick, pushed the two-year conflict to a new culmination.
The Hamas ground network is far from a temporary battlefield imagined by the outside world.The data disclosed by the Israeli Defense Army in 2023 shows that the total length of the groundway in the Gaza Strip is more than 500 kilometers, which is equivalent to digging the ring of the Beijing Five Rings into the ground for a few rounds.
These passages, buried 30 meters deep underground, are like an intricate spider web, not only connecting hospitals, mosques and schools, but also hiding rocket factories, command centers and granaries.
During the conflict in 2021, Hamas used a 1.6-kilometer-long tunnel to quietly raid the Israeli border, killing four soldiers and shocking the entire international community.
What makes people even more troublesome is the tunnel's defensive capabilities. Israel has spent tens of billions of dollars in military spending and bombarded indiscriminately with earth-penetrating bombs, but Hamas can always quickly repair the damage with cement and wooden boards.
In August 2025, the Israeli army discovered a 7-kilometer-long "central tunnel" in the Beit Hanoun area. It took 20,000 cubic meters of sealing material alone to pump in, but the surrounding 2.4-kilometer tunnel network was still intact.
This “unbreakable, endless” characteristic makes the advanced weapons of the Israeli army seem somewhat powerless.
After the ceasefire agreement came into effect in October 2025, Hamas's actions can be called an "underground blitzkrieg." Through emergency mobilization by phone and text messages, 7,000 armed men completed the assembly within hours.
They sprang out from the entrances of civilian buildings such as hospital rooms and school playgrounds, so that the Israeli military drones and reconnaissance planes were completely set up.
What’s more, they restored Gaza’s electricity, communications and food supplies in just 24 hours, a “war-time reconstruction” that even many developed countries were less likely to react to after the disaster.
However, Hamas's counterattack also caused the Israeli military to quickly adjust its strategy. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that the next stage would supervise the demolition of all Gaza's tunnel systems, emphasizing in particular that "this is not occupation, but liberation."
But it is far more difficult to implement than imagined. The Israeli army must first locate hundreds of kilometers of tunnel networks and then destroy them one by one with earth-penetrating bombs or sealing materials. It must also be careful to avoid harming civilians.
Technically speaking, Israel has a "diamond" special force and intelligent robotic assistance, but the complexity of the ground warfare is still beyond expectation.In the conflict in 2023, the Israeli army has encountered bomb traps and crash points in the ground, many soldiers were killed.
Now facing a larger tunnel network, the Israeli army has to rely on the micro drone "Shrike" provided by Sufan Group. This kind of equipment can accurately distinguish militants from civilians in the dark, but the risk of misjudgment is still like a sword of Damocles hanging overhead.
Popular support is the key to Hamas's ability to persist until now based on tunnels. A July 2025 United Nations report showed that more than 70% of families in Gaza had received assistance from Hamas. This "dependence on people's livelihood" makes the tunnel not only a military facility, but also the lifeblood of the people of Gaza.
When the Israeli army bombed ground buildings, Hamas was able to maintain basic operations through ground transportation of drugs, fuel and food, while the Israeli-controlled area faced a humanitarian crisis due to continued blockade – shortages of hospitals, shutdowns of schools, and basic livelihoods.
In contrast, Israel's "technical suppression" strategy is gradually showing signs of fatigue. Although the United States provided more than US$20 billion in military spending and Israel itself invested US$50 billion, the two-year bombing only destroyed 30% of the tunnels.
Even more embarrassingly, Hamas quickly restored order after a ceasefire, while Israel fell into the whirlwind of international public opinion due to ongoing military operations.This sharp contrast between “military victory” and “government failure” has led more and more people to start questioning whether the Israeli military’s strategy is wise.
In this tug-of-war, China's position has always been clear and firm: it advocates a "two-state solution" to solve the Palestinian-Israeli issue and emphasizes that humanitarian assistance should not be politicized.
Before the 2025 Egypt Peace Summit, China has repeatedly called on all parties to exercise restraint and avoid escalating conflicts. This impartial and harmonious attitude not only reflects the responsibility and responsibility of a major country, but also provides valuable possibilities for cooling down conflicts.
When Hamas’s 7,000 men were drilled out of the ground, they were betting on the people’s hearts being dispersed and destroyed, while Israel’s demolition plan was betting on technological superiority and international support.
But no matter how victorious, the ruins of Gaza and the displaced people have always been the heaviest focus of this conflict.
With technology, popular support and geopolitics intertwined, how do you think the road to peace in Gaza should go? Welcome to leave your thoughts in the comment area.
