The tunnel entrances are hidden in civilian buildings, including homes, schools, hospitals and other facilities.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said that since the ground operation in the Gaza Strip began, the military has discovered and destroyed approximately 400 shafts leading to underground tunnels. This was reported by The Times of Israel.
Yahalom’s special engineering unit played a major role in destroying Hamas’ underground infrastructure.
It is noted that the entrances to the tunnels are hidden in civil buildings, including residential buildings, schools, hospitals and other facilities.
The IDF has previously accused Hamas of using Gazans as human shields by deliberately targeting civilians with the group’s infrastructure.
The Israeli army command also called on residents of the city of Jebaliya and the Shujaya region in Gaza to leave the south of the enclave. For population transfer in the sector, a humanitarian corridor will work until 16:00. In addition, the military will suspend operations in the Jurat al-Lot and Batn al-Samin areas of Khan Yunis.
We remind you that the Israeli government accepted an agreement with the Palestinian radical group Hamas on the release of approximately 50 hostages abducted during the terrorist attack on October 7 in exchange for a ceasefire.
It was also reported that Israel’s Ministry of Justice published a list of the names of 300 Palestinian prisoners who could be exchanged for captured Hamas hostages.
