Hamas built a hidden tunnel network under Beit Hanun, using schools and homes, before being defeated by Israeli forces.
The Israel Defense Forces revealed on November 20, 2025, that Hamas had built an extensive underground tunnel network beneath Beit Hanun in northern Gaza, using civilian homes, schools, and other structures for weapons storage, command centers, and firing positions.
The network, discovered during military operations, includes tunnels beneath an elementary school and residential areas, with Hamas operatives reportedly operating from within.
The IDF stated that the area had been a major Hamas stronghold, largely destroyed during combat that began in October 2023, with militants either killed or surrendering by July 2025.
Strategic positions have since been established in the area, including a forward base named “Israela,” as part of ongoing efforts to maintain control and project power.
The disclosure comes amid broader efforts to shape international perception and support future actions.
