On Thursday, the Israeli army announced that one of its soldiers was killed in the battles in the Gaza Strip and five others were injured. The army statement explained that its forces are currently working to uncover and destroy the infrastructure of the Hamas movement in Gaza, including tunnels.
According to the Israeli army statement, Israeli forces discovered stocks of water and oxygen inside the tunnels, indicating Hamas’s preparations to remain underground for long periods.
According to the Israeli army, 130 tunnel entrances have been destroyed since the beginning of the war.
For his part, Israeli army spokesman Admiral Daniel Hagari said, “Hamas has lost control of the northern Gaza Strip.”
He added that soldiers from the Corps of Engineers are using explosive devices to destroy the tunnel network built by Hamas that extends for hundreds of kilometers under the Gaza Strip.
Israel accuses Hamas of responsibility for the deaths of civilians in Gaza, saying it uses the residents of the Strip as human shields and hides weapons and operations centers in residential areas.
Palestinian health officials in Gaza said that more than 10,000 Palestinians, 40 percent of whom were children, were killed as a result of the continuous Israeli bombing of the Strip, which is home to 2.3 million people, since October 7.
