FREE PALESTINE = FUND HAMAS TO BUILD TERROR TUNNELS

FREE PALESTINE = FUND HAMAS TO BUILD TERROR TUNNELS the reality unfortunately Hamas who have ruled Palestine-Gaza for 20 years only have one objective the genocide of israel. The total opposite or inversion of the Truth that the 'paid idiots' from the FREE PALESTINE Mob think they are supporting in fact they are supporting terorism (hamas) . Graham Healy Sun 16 /8/26


**Tens of millions of dollars according to the IDF’s January 2024 assessment based on materials and tunnels examined; broader analyst estimates for the full multi-year network often range into the hundreds of millions or up to around $1 billion.**


In January 2024, the IDF (citing intelligence from ground operations and analysis of exposed tunnels) stated that Hamas used over 6,000 tons of concrete and 1,800 tons of metal to build hundreds of kilometers of underground infrastructure, at a total cost of tens of millions of dollars. The military emphasized that these resources were diverted from civilian needs.


### Earlier and other estimates

- Around the 2014 Gaza conflict, Israeli estimates put the cost of roughly three dozen tunnels at about $30–90 million (with some individual longer tunnels estimated at around $3 million each, involving large amounts of concrete). One IDF-related figure suggested nearly $100 million for the tunnels destroyed then.

- Lower per-tunnel figures have also appeared (e.g., ~$100,000 and a few months of work for simpler ones in some analyses).

- Network-scale estimates (pre- and post-2023 war) put total tunnel length in the range of hundreds of kilometers / ~350–450 miles in updated assessments, with sophisticated features (reinforcement, ventilation, electricity, blast doors, living/command spaces). Some defense analyses and commentators have therefore projected overall investment (materials + labor + support systems over ~15 years) in the hundreds of millions to as high as ~$1 billion.


Exact totals are inherently uncertain: construction relied heavily on diverted cement/building materials and local labor (often low-paid), stretched over many years, and included varying tunnel types (simple vs. reinforced/advanced). Funding came from a mix of sources including taxes in Gaza, external support, and materials that entered the Strip. The IDF’s “tens of millions” figure focuses on quantified materials for the infrastructure assessed by early 2024; larger figures attempt to capture the cumulative project.
