Hamas, which rules Gaza, has stockpiled weapons, missiles, food and
medical supplies, according to the people, who declined to be named
due to the sensitivity of the situation. The group is confident its
thousands of fighters can survive for months in a city of tunnels
carved deep beneath the Palestinian enclave and frustrate Israeli
forces with urban guerrilla tactics, the people told Reuters.

The video I've seen of those tunnels is incredible: concrete formwork, electric cables, the works. The fact that they are that extensive is an embarrassment.
As for this being some master plan, I still have yet to
see any evidence Hamas thought this through.
An embarrassment for all of those countries that
sent money to the poor Gaza strip

An embarrassment for all of those countries that sent money to the poor
Gaza strip... only for Hamas to spend it on weapons and extensive tunnel building (etc.) while the population above ground lived in poverty and
blamed Israel for all of their woes...
