Hamas has built 500 kilometers of tunnels in Gaza, where they have amassed weapons, the commander of IRGC forces in Tehran, Hassan Hassanzadeh has said.
He added that Hamas forces managed to infiltrate up to 40 kilometers into the Israeli territory during their deadly onslaught on October 7, saying it was “a great victory.”
The second victory happened when people in London, Paris and other places held rallies to support the Palestinian cause, the IRGC commander stated.
Recently, the British newspaper The Times reported that Iranian agents are stirring up unrest in the UK through Gaza protests.
There is direct involvement of the Iranian regime through the physical presence of operatives at protests as well as through disinformation campaigns conducted online, the report said.
Hassanzadeh also claimed that Israel’s political and security structures have collapsed following Hamas attack, while the Israeli army is advancing in Gaza.
His remarks came three days after Mohammad Bagheri, the Chief of Staff of Iran's Armed Forces, said that Hamas fighters have constructed over 400 kilometers of tunnels in northern Gaza, describing them as one of the factors that the Islamist militia has survived against Israeli fire.
On October 31, Jam-e Jam daily, close to the Iranian regime, called Hamas tunnels “a labyrinthine puzzle” that cannot be solved by American and Israeli security and military circles.
These tunnels provide Hamas with a great advantage in any ground battle with Israeli forces, added the report.
The clashes between the two sides started when the Hamas terror group launched a surprise attack on Israel on October 7, killing at least 1400 people.
