IDF's Ongoing Hunt: Uncovering Hamas Tunnel Shafts

The Israel Defense Force (IDF) has located 800 Hamas tunnel shafts in Gaza and destroyed around 500 of them using various methods. The process of finding and neutralizing these tunnels is time-consuming, especially as the IDF investigates and documents their locations in civilian structures. The IDF is considering flooding the remaining tunnels with seawater, but the effectiveness and potential risks of this approach are uncertain. Israel faces pressure to oust Hamas while minimizing harm to Palestinian civilians, and the clock is ticking on world opinion.

"Israel's Intensified Offensive: Decimating Hamas' Underground Tunnel Network in Gaza"

Israeli troops are preparing to enter Gaza City, marking a new phase in the conflict with Hamas. The underground tunnel network built by Hamas poses a significant challenge for Israeli forces, as it includes sleeping areas, medical facilities, command centers, and storage for weapons and ammunition. Israel has developed specialized units and technologies to detect and destroy these tunnels, including ground-penetrating radar, sponge bombs, and military dogs. However, the complexity and extent of the tunnel network make it difficult for Israeli soldiers to storm them. As the battle moves into the densely populated urban terrain, Israeli troops will face the dangerous task of fighting both above and below ground.

Ukraine's Intense Battle for Bakhmut Against Russian Forces.

Ukrainian troops blew up their own building in Bakhmut to trap Russian soldiers who had forced their way inside, fighting with them room to room. The battle for Bakhmut, a city in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region, is a horrific affair that has lasted for months and cost thousands of lives. It is the longest and bloodiest contest of Russia's war and it regularly draws comparisons to World War II's Battle of Stalingrad.
