The IDF has destroyed a mile-long section of one of the largest known Hamas tunnel networks beneath the Gaza Strip, connecting Hamas' military forces and serving as an underground crossing route between northern and southern Gaza. This comes as part of the IDF's efforts to decimate Hamas' tunnel system, with estimates suggesting that about 40% of the terror tunnels have been destroyed. The operation involved dramatic detonations and airstrikes, and follows the Nahal Brigade's elimination of 18 Hamas gunmen in central Gaza.

"UN Demands Probe into Alleged Israeli War Crimes in Gaza, Including Vast Tunnels and Unlawful Killings"

The Israeli military has discovered a vast tunnel network under Gaza City, including command and control positions, meeting rooms, and hideout apartments for top Hamas leaders.

The military released videos showcasing the underground structures. Meanwhile, the United Nations Security Council planned to vote on a cease-fire resolution, and the UN Human Rights Office called for an immediate, independent investigation into allegations that Israeli soldiers summarily killed unarmed Palestinian men in front of their families.

"Israel's Ferocious Attack Dogs: Unleashing Fear on Hamas Tunnel Terrorists"

Israel has trained a unit of attack dogs to be deployed in Hamas' extensive tunnel network, with footage showing a dog running through a mock-up underground passage and mauling a fake fighter. The specially-trained military canines, part of the Oketz unit, are capable of sniffing out explosives, finding entrances, and attacking terrorists. The tunnels, hidden up to 100ft below the surface, are used by Hamas to transport people and goods, store ammunition, and house command and control centers. Israel claims to have encircled Gaza City and split the besieged enclave in two, with plans to pour troops into the city in the next 48 hours.
