Keeping politics and religion out of it, has anyone seen the video on the BBC going down a shaft into a tunnel in Gazza? If so is it shot by a drone?

Keeping politics and religion out of it, has anyone seen the video on the BBC news going down a shaft into a tunnel in Gazza? If so is it shot by a drone? I saw very little dust blowing about.
I can't post a URL but if it is via a ariel drone its incredible, manoeuvrability wise.

I think the Israelis are using robots to send down the tunnels.

Do you mean wheeled or tracked or walking etc. rather than flying?
That might be in agreement with what I saw i.e. the lack of dust. If so they must be fairly complicated robots. It was yaw plus 3D movement, though the vertical movement was downwards only, I think.

Or a combination of systems.

Rafael Unleashes Robots to Pursue Targets Indoors - Defense Update:

RAFAEL’s INDOOR autonomous surveillance capability is taking this capability to a new level, by enabling a group of unmanned systems to map and inspect indoor spaces, enabling warfighters to explore structures suspected to be occupied by the adversary, without exposing humans to the dangerous...

Yes, wheeled or tracked vehicles. I'm sure they are state of the art. They've been using them for a while in bomb disposal. So you're not risking a human.

There's a company named 'Deep Trekker' that produce small form factor crawler ROV's custom built for subterranean surveying, inspection & photography. Their latest features lidar 3D mapping. I made the mistake of asking for a document package for one of their drones and now I get regular spam emails.

Both GPS and the controller WiFi won’t work well, or at all in that situation.

The link I posted describes a RAFAEL system for mapping and exploring indoor spaces. Given RAFAEL is an Israeli mlitary R&D company I would be very surprised if their systems weren't being used, as this is what they were designed for.

I know the IDF is using Avatas in some tunnels. Not sure if that video was from one of those flights or not.

Here it is... Telegraph, but i found the same video in a report on the BBC website. Looks like an Avata with the Motion Controller, probably v2 with the joystick. The target reticle is a dead giveaway.
