Civilians stranded in and displaced from Yarmouk expressed fears that their homes would be reduced to rubble after pictures put on air by Tahrir AlSham-affiliated IBA news agency on April 24 showed a network of underground tunnels dug by ISIS and leading to zones controlled by Tahrir AlSham in Yarmouk Camp.
Videos propagated on Facebook pages affiliated with the Syrian government and the armed opposition provided live footages of the takeover of a network of underground tunnels excavated by the warring parties in Yarmouk Camp in an attempt to take aback the rival battalions.
An armed group in Yarmouk also said it unearthed a complex web of tunnels in the camp, including a two-kilometer-long tunnel dug by the government forces and stretching from Nisreen Street, controlled by the regime, to central Yarmouk Camp and Palestine Street.
Pro-government allies also said they grabbed hold of a web of tunnels excavated by the opposition groups near Yarmouk Court.
Palestinian activists warned of the imminent collapse of the remaining homes in Yarmouk Camp due to the random excavations. 50% of civilian buildings and structures in Yarmouk have already sustained partial or total damage as a result of the unabated hostilities.
