    I was under the impression the technology to identify underground stuff was pretty cheap.

      It’s hard and expensive. The us-mexico border has the same problem and US spends like crazy to find tunnels. If the tunnel is bellow 5-10 meters I think it’s almost imposible [1]

      In Gaza from what I heard they also only use hand tools to avoid making a lot of noise.

      The article indicated this tunnel was entirely inside Gaza and was likely used by militants for storage, staging, etc. Israel focuses on locating tunnels that cross the border, not ones that are nearly half a kilometer behind it.
