A Hamas cell made its way through an underground tunnel, intent on emerging close to the Israeli border and attacking soldiers. The air force carried out a precision strike on the tunnel, killing the gunmen. With Israel's newly completed underground barrier, the cell would not have been able to get into Israel, but would have emerged near the border fence. Channel 12 also reported that the ceasefire had been delayed by up to 48 hours to allow the IDF to carry out a final mission. Prime Minister Netanyahu said at a press conference Friday that not everything regarding the outcome and impact of the Israeli strikes is yet known to the public, or even to Hamas.
