Eliminating Hamas's Tunnels: Israel's Imperative

Israel's ground assault in the Gaza Strip aims to eliminate Hamas's subterranean military capabilities, particularly its extensive tunnel network. While Israel's military superiority and support from the United States provide advantages, the challenge lies in minimizing harm to innocent civilians and Israeli hostages while neutralizing Hamas's underground infrastructure. The destruction of the tunnels is crucial for Israel's long-term security, and it should primarily be accomplished through aerial and surface attacks using advanced weaponry. However, the complex urban and subterranean warfare terrain poses significant risks and operational difficulties, making casualties among civilians and Israeli forces inevitable.
