IDF Is "Dismantling Key Components of the Tunnel Infrastructure"
(Jewish Insider) Ruth Marks Eglash - As Israeli troops push southward through Gaza, there are almost daily reports of new tunnel shafts, lavish bunkers, subterranean weapons factories and storage facilities being discovered. IDF spokesman Lt.-Col. (res.) Peter Lerner explained that the army was focused on "dismantling key components of the tunnel infrastructure that gives [Hamas] a tactical and operational advantage." In northern Gaza, underground command-and-control centers used by Hamas had been obliterated, forcing its fighters above ground, while further south, in Khan Yunis, the detection of hideouts utilized by senior Hamas leaders have left them "in a constant state of threat and pursuit." "We are cutting down [Hamas' infrastructure] slice by slice, location by location, which handicaps Hamas' ability to operate freely."
