The Israel Defense Forces announced it had “neutralized” the network of Hamas tunnels in the Gaza Strip in 5 days of air strikes.

According to a video posted by the Israeli army, in recent decades, Hamas has created a tunnel network located under residential buildings in the Gaza Strip.

 The tunnels were actively used by fighters of the movement to hide after launching missiles into Israeli territory. Soon, the tunnels became a complex underground system that allowed representatives of the movement not only to hide, but also to place and move ammunition and weapons.

It is reported that during the military operation, the Israeli military managed to destroy almost 100 kilometers of underground tunnels. “In just five days, we (the tunnel network – ed.) Neutralized it,” the army said.

Earlier, the Israeli Air Force launched a third series of attacks on the tunnel system of the Hamas “Metro” movement ruling in the Gaza Strip, hitting 15 kilometers of underground structures in the north of the enclave.

 A tunnel in the south of the Gaza Strip, containing Hamas servers and military equipment, was recently reported to have been hit, and a tunnel under a hotel beach in the north of the sector was destroyed. 

Also, the Israeli army announced strikes on the mine of the Hamas tunnel in the Khan Younis area in the south of the Gaza Strip. According to the data, military equipment was located in the tunnel.The situation on the border between Israel and the Gaza Strip escalated on the evening of May 10.

 According to the Israeli military, since the beginning of the escalation, about 4,000 missiles have been fired from the Gaza Strip at Israel, about 90% of which have been intercepted by the missile defense system, and about 600 have fallen on the territory of the Palestinian Enclave. 

According to the latest information, 12 people died in Israel, more than 50 were seriously injured. The number of Palestinians killed in Israeli airstrikes has reached 227, with 64 children killed.
