Israeli Troops Face Deadly Maze in Gaza as Hostage Crisis Escalates

TL;DR Summary
Hamas has turned the streets of Gaza into a "deadly maze" for Israeli troops due to its knowledge of the terrain and extensive tunnel network. The Israeli military's death toll is already almost double that of the 2014 ground offensive, with 110 soldiers killed since the start of the invasion in late October. Hamas fighters are taking advantage of their familiarity with the land and frequently ambushing Israeli forces. The expanded scope of the operation has resulted in higher troop casualties, and the Israeli military has yet to find a solution for the tunnels.
