As part of an Israeli onslaught that has resulted in hundreds of Palestinian deaths, Israel's ground forces in the Gaza Strip set out on Wednesday to find and destroy the extensive tunnel network used by Hamas terrorists beneath the territory.
Following the cross-border gun rampage on October 7, Israel has divided the coastal enclave in half using ground soldiers and aerial bombardment.
Gaza City, the territory’s largest town and Hamas’ main stronghold, is encircled. Israel says its troops have advanced to the heart of the city while Hamas says its fighters have inflicted heavy losses on the invading forces.
Chief Israeli military spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said that Israel’s combat engineering corps were using explosive devices to destroy a tunnel network built by Hamas that stretches for hundreds of kilometers (miles) beneath Gaza.
Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said Israel had “one target — Hamas terrorists in Gaza, their infrastructure, their commanders, bunkers, communications rooms.”
