Belarus and Russia may have enlisted militants from Hamas and Hezbollah to help dig tunnels used to smuggle migrants into Poland For several years, Belarusian authorities have used migrants as a weapon, illegally funneling them into Europe to create social and political pressure. The tactic has become part of Putin’s hybrid war strategy, carried out with the support of Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko. In recent months, Polish border guards have discovered tunnels dug beneath the frontier. According to military experts, such underground systems are a specialty of Middle Eastern militant groups like Hamas and Hezbollah. Russia is sending migrants through underground tunnels from Belarus into Europe as part of its hybrid war on the West, Polish officials told The Telegraph. They said Belarus used specialists from the Middle East with “a high level of expertise” to design the tunnels. Border guards in Poland’s Podlaskie Voivodeship, which covers more than two-thirds of the Polish-Belarusian border, discovered four tunnels in 2025, Lt. Col. Katarzyna Zdanowicz told the British newspaper. One of the largest tunnels, found near the village of Narewka in eastern Poland in mid-December, was used by 180 migrants, mainly from Afghanistan and Pakistan. Most were arrested after emerging on the Polish side. Under Lukashenko, who has ruled for more than 30 years, Belarus has played an active role in efforts to destabilize the West through orchestrated migration flows. Even before Russia’s 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Belarus served as a staging ground for sending thousands of migrants across the Polish border, prompting Warsaw to build a 200-kilometer fence equipped with 300 cameras. Since the invasion of Ukraine, Russia has also carried out dozens of drone incursions and firebomb attacks on European airports, along with a series of sabotage operations targeting factories and railways supplying aid to Kyiv.
