How do you expect Hamas to build bomb shelters? Setting aside how Israel has bunker busters and has been using them in Gaza, because of Israel’s blockade things that you’d normally need to make a bomb shelter (or any decent structure) are unavailable. It’s to the point UNRWA is teaching Palestinians how to build houses using mud.
But can those shelters house the ridiculous amount of civilians in Gaza? I don’t see how they could build these things at a large enough scale to house Gazan civilians, not to mention they’d be bombed first thing because they’re “Hamas headquarters”. At least Israel can’t use bunker busters on hospitals and UN schools (hopefully).
I should’ve written: “They haven’t built bomb shelters for civilians”
Is it shocking to learn this? It seems so absurd that you cannot believe it?
I kinda agree.

In the exact same way as they build bomb shelters for their soldiers? Probably not optimal for civilians, but better than nothing.
