Israel targets Hamas’s labyrinth of tunnels under Gaza – BBC News



Israel says it is striking parts of a secret labyrinth of tunnels built underneath the Gaza Strip by Hamas, as it continues to retaliate for the Palestinian Islamist militant group’s unprecedented cross-border attack on Saturday.

“Think of the Gaza Strip as one layer for civilians and then another layer for Hamas. We are trying to get to that second layer that Hamas has built,” an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesperson said in a video on Thursday.

Warplanes could also drop “bunker busting” bombs, which penetrate deep into the ground before detonating. However, they would pose a risk of collateral damage due to the dense urban terrain.

  1. The Israel government warn and advice the people of Gaza to move south, including hospitals. But you didn’t listen. Hamas is hiding in hospitals and schools. Just move to south before another big civilian casualties. Please move to the safe place.

  2. The Palestinians need to blame Hamas and Iran for all of their war related problems and difficulties.

    Hamas chose the time to react.
    Israel needs to rescue the hostages as soon as practicable.
    The Good Palestinian people should understand this, as should the reporter.
    Would she like Israel to leave the hostages in Hamas’ everything but tender care or years before they act?

    It’s already a catastrophe.
    One created by Iran and its proxies
