TL;DR Summary

Israeli troops are preparing for a potential invasion of Gaza, but the challenge they face is the extensive network of tunnels used by Hamas militants. Gaza is densely populated, making it difficult for Israeli forces to navigate. The tunnels are believed to be booby-trapped and filled with explosives, making it dangerous for soldiers. Hamas has used the tunnels to hide rockets and potentially hold Israeli hostages. Israel's intelligence community believes that funds meant for Gaza's reconstruction have been used to build the tunnel system. Israeli soldiers will likely focus on locating and neutralizing the tunnels rather than storming them directly.
