In a bold and controversial report, an Al Jazeera journalist entered a Hamas tunnel to conduct on-site interviews with senior members of the militant organization. The unprecedented footage offers a rare glimpse into the underground network used by Hamas during its operations in Gaza.
The report, which has already sparked heated debate online and among international observers, shows the reporter navigating narrow, dimly lit passageways deep beneath Gaza.
There, he engaged in direct conversation with Hamas operatives, discussing military tactics, tunnel strategy, and their ongoing confrontation with Israel.

While some have hailed the segment as groundbreaking journalism offering rare insight into a hidden dimension of the conflict, others criticized the broadcaster for appearing to give a platform to a designated terrorist organization without sufficiently challenging their actions or ideology.
The segment comes at a time of heightened scrutiny over media coverage in the Middle East, and questions remain about how the journalist was granted access to the tunnel and the implications of such reporting for journalistic ethics and international security.
Al Jazeera has not yet issued a formal response to the criticism, but the network is expected to continue airing follow-up segments in the coming days.
