IDF Forces Attacking Hamas Inside Tunnels
(Jerusalem Post) Yonah Jeremy Bob - Of the 4,500 Hamas fighters in the four Khan Yunis battalions, 2,700 have been killed, over 1,000 in close combat and over 1,700 by tank, artillery, or aerial attacks, the IDF says. Initially, the IDF strategy was to first win the battle above ground, and then to slowly have engineering crews blow up Hamas' underground tunnels. Later, the IDF shifted to attacking Hamas simultaneously both above and below ground, including sending dozens of IDF forces all at once into the tunnels to combat Hamas terrorists.
