Since the initiation of the Gaza ground operation on October 27, Israeli forces have located 800 shafts leading to Hamas' extensive underground network. Over half of these, approximately 500, have been successfully destroyed through various operational methods, including detonation and sealing off. The military revealed that many of the tunnel shafts were situated in civilian areas, including schools, kindergartens, mosques, and playgrounds. Anti-tunnel operations, aimed at disabling Hamas' infrastructure, have raised concerns about the impact on civilians, prompting global scrutiny. The ongoing conflict has prompted Washington to urge Israel to exercise caution, emphasizing the escalating civilian toll.
