The Israeli military released a video of the explosion of a Hamas tunnel in the Gaza Strip.
According to the Israeli military on the 21st (local time), the military blew up a large strategic tunnel connecting the hideout and office of senior Hamas leaders in the northern Gaza Strip. This attack came a day after the Israeli military announced that it had discovered a passage connecting the hideouts of Hamas political leader Yahya Sinwar and other leaders.
If you look at the video of the situation at the time, a red-hot fire broke out in the center of the city and the entire area quickly turned into a heap of ashes. The Israeli military said, “Last night, a ‘Hamas high-level area’ was discovered in the Gaza Strip,” and “and today this tunnel was destroyed.”
As Israel continues to attack Hamas every day, Hamas is risking hostages to fight against Israel. Abu Obeida, spokesman for Hamas’ al-Qassam Brigades, said, “If the attacks continue, the hostages will never be released,” and “there is absolutely no possibility of rescuing them through military operations.” The day before, he showed the life-like images of the three male hostages whose bodies were found last week and said, “If you want the hostages back alive, there is no other option than to end the war.”
However, it is also pointed out that too many civilians in the Gaza Strip are dying due to these wars. World Health Organization (WHO) Gaza Director Richard Pipercorn said, “There is no longer a hospital in the northern part of the Gaza Strip that provides full medical functions, including surgery,” and “Al-Ahli Hospital, which functioned as a medical facility until the end, is still treating patients. However, the situation is that about 10 medical staff can only provide basic first aid, pain management, and wound treatment.” At the same time, he said, “Al-Ahli Hospital, which was the only hospital that could perform surgery on the injured, was left as a ‘shell’ and could not accept new patients,” adding, “It is a similar situation to a hospice.”
According to the Gaza Strip’s Ministry of Health, 20,057 people have been killed and 53,320 injured in the Gaza Strip since the fighting began on October 7. Approximately 70% of the dead are said to be children and women.
