IDF Racing to Destroy Gaza Tunnels before Diplomacy Halts It
(Jerusalem Post) Amir Bohbot - The IDF is in a "race against time" to locate and destroy tunnels between the Gaza border fence and the Yellow Line, before diplomacy brings operations to a halt, security sources told Walla on Monday. The army is fortifying existing outposts, improving defenses along the Yellow Line and the border fence, demolishing structures above ground, and, most intensively, locating and demolishing tunnels. A security source said, "Military Intelligence did not fully understand how Hamas integrated the different types of tunnels in different areas as a foundation of its combat doctrine....We did not understand the size of the project and the importance Hamas attributed to the tunnels, and what is happening now is an attempt to close the gap, to locate these tunnels, and destroy a massive project of decades."
