Unveiling Israel's Tunnel Commando Team: Waging War Under Gaza

While the Israeli government continues its military campaign against Hamas in Gaza, the Yahalom Unit, an elite combat engineering team of the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF), is preparing to confront Hamas in the extensive network of underground tunnels. Hamas has used these tunnels to smuggle weapons and launch surprise attacks against Israel. The Yahalom Unit faces the challenge of operating in the dark, as Hamas can use the tunnels to strike back and escape from Israeli forces. The IDF has been training the unit extensively, but the scale of the tunnel network and the potential for surprises pose significant challenges. The mission's duration is uncertain, but it is expected to be a protracted urban warfare fight.
