Israel Announces Destruction of Over 80 Percent of Hamas Tunnel Network
Defense Minister Israel Katz reported that Israeli forces have successfully demolished 83% of the extensive tunnel infrastructure in the Gaza Strip. This development comes as the Israeli government considers a new proposal for long-term administrative control of the territory. Despite the military milestone, fighting persists in several pockets of the enclave, and officials have emphasized that operations will continue until the underground network is completely neutralized to prevent future insurgent activity or weapons smuggling through remaining clandestine passages.
