Nov 09, 2023
Gaza, November 09 (ANI): It has been a month of the bloody war between Israel and Hamas militant group. Israel Defense Forces have intensified its ground ops and have reached the ‘heart’ of Hamas in Gaza Strip. Hamas’ vast tunnel network is one of the targets of the Israeli Military and they are continuing to pound the tunnels. The Israeli military released video on November 8 of what they say is strike on Hamas tunnel situated near a school in southern Gaza. Recently, IDF destroyed a strategic tunnel of Hamas which was built beneath a children’s amusement park. Other than that, a tunnel near a university was also bombed by the Israel Defense Forces. IDF also released a video of a school being used by Hamas to hide rocket launch pads. Since the war broke out, Hamas has been accused of using civilians of Gaza as a shield. Reuters cited its sources claiming that Hamas has around 40,000 fighters. They can move around the enclave using a vast web of fortified tunnels, hundreds of kilometers long up to 80 meters deep. Over a month of deadly war between Israel and Hamas, the locals of Gaza and Israel have suffered a lot. The Oct 07 surprise attack by Hamas on Israel took the lives of around 1,400 innocent civilians. On the other hand, the Gazan death toll has surpassed 9,000 after Israel initiated its retaliatory plan. With the intensification of the ground ops by Israel, ceasefire is nowhere near sight.
