Israel did know. I asked a senior IDF officer pre-Oct 7 why Hamas was still digging tunnels if they had been targeted (seemingly) “successfully” from the air in the 2021 war, and the cross-border ones were neutralized. “Because that’s all they have,” he said dismissively
@ChrisO_wiki I have gotten that before. No real answer, sure the sea, the other construction sites, etc.. but I'd say there was no need to hide the spoil inside Gaza, Israel knew Hamas was digging tunnels. I am sure they had creative ways to mask the ones they wanted to mask. Dense urban

A person familiar with Gaza humanitarian issues said the group was “very much alive” and could continue “under a different cover”. The “founders are on to bigger and better things, and bigger and better deals,” they added.

GHF is not part of the current humanitarian response for Gaza as laid out in the ceasefire deal. But group says it has loaded aid trucks and private security contractors ready to resume operations immediately - despite its funding set to run out in late November/early December

Ideas under discussion range from GHF running food distribution centres in territory still under Israeli military control; managing logistics hubs for reconstruction; or supplying aid to other NGOs. GHF officials have held talks at new Civil-Military Coordination Center (CMCC)
