Israel's Intensive Hunt for Hamas Tunnels in Gaza

Israel's ground forces are now focusing on locating and disabling Hamas militants' extensive tunnel network beneath the Gaza Strip as part of their offensive. The Israeli military has encircled Gaza City, Hamas' main stronghold, and claims to have advanced into the heart of the city, while Hamas asserts that its fighters have inflicted heavy losses on the invading forces. Israel aims to target Hamas terrorists, infrastructure, commanders, bunkers, and communication rooms. The Israeli offensive has resulted in thousands of Palestinian casualties, and there are concerns for the safety of hostages believed to be held in the tunnels. Saudi Arabia will host summits of Arab and Islamic nations to discuss the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi will visit Saudi Arabia for the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation summit, marking the first visit by an Iranian head of state since the China-brokered deal between Iran and Saudi Arabia.
