Gaza: Hamas has more tunnels than expected.

Thus far possibly only half the tunnels have been discovered. Israel likely has at least this much more tunnel-closing work yet to do in Gaza.

“More than 60 access shafts leading to 28 tunnels have been uncovered since Israel’s ground operation — dubbed Operation Protective Edge — began on July 8.
‘We’ve been busy with the tunnels for a long time — in the last year we have discovered four in our territory,’ Ya’alon said. ‘This [could have been] dealt with diplomatically or militarily — now it’s being done militarily with a lot of success.’
IDF officials initially expected that most of the tunnels would be destroyed within days, but once on the ground learned there were more than intelligence sources knew. And on Tuesday, a U.S. intelligence source revealed that American satellite imagery had suggested that as many as 60 tunnels might have been built underneath Gaza.
Should Hamas or Islamic Jihad succeed in emerging undiscovered from one of these tunnels, there could be carnage on a massive scale.”
