The IDF&#8217;s Yahalom Unit\u2062 Combat Engineering Forces discovered Hamas&#8217; &#8220;Elite Quarter,&#8221; a complex\u200c system of strategic tunnels connecting hideouts and bureaus belonging to Hamas&#8217; senior military and political leadership.<\/p>\n<p>The destruction of these tunnels was carried\u200b out in a controlled demolition on \u2062Thursday, as confirmed by the\u2063 IDF. The IDF spokesperson, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, stated, &#8220;Today,\u2062 we destroyed a strategic terror tunnel network in the Hamas Elite Quarter \u2062in the heart of \u200cGaza City.\u200c This is a complex network of tunnels connecting hideout apartments to various facilities and\u2063 bunkers of senior members of\u2063 the\u200b Hamas terrorist organization.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The \u200cIDF&#8217;s Air Force (IAF) also played a crucial role in securing the \u2063&#8221;Elite Quarter.&#8221;\u200b Special \u200dForces from the IAF&#8217;s Shaldag Unit, the \u2064401st\u200c Brigade, Shayetet \u200d13,\u2063 and Yahalom \u200bsuccessfully gained\u2064 control of the area \u200cwhere Hamas&#8217; administrative and military leadership operated.<\/p>\n<p>During\u2064 the operation,\u2062 the forces eliminated approximately 600 terrorists and uncovered a \u200clarge tunnel network that connected hideouts, bureaus,\u2063 and leader&#8217;s apartments. This operation dealt a significant blow to Hamas&#8217; infrastructure and strategic capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>According to Hagari, the IDF&#8217;s ground operations in northern and \u2063southern Gaza continue to intensify. Since the resumption of ground operations, over 2,000 terrorists have been eliminated \u200dby the IDF\u2063 from the air, sea,\u2063 and land.<\/p>\n<h3>Additional Footage\u2064 of Israel&#8217;s Combat Operations<\/h3>\n<p>Various clips \u2062showcasing Israel&#8217;s combat operations in the area have been released:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Military activities\u200d of \u200cthe 401st Brigade\u2062 and Shayetet 13 forces\u200d in\u2062 the \u2062Palestine Square area.<\/li>\n<li>Commanding Officer of the 401st\u2063 Brigade, Colonel Benny Aharon, reveals an underground bunker\u200b and\u200c a tunnel shaft in Palestine Square.<\/li>\n<li>Deputy Commanding Officer of the 401st brigade, Ltc Ido, revealing a specialized construction workshop for \u2064a tunnel with a logistical tunnel shaft inside.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The IDF&#8217;s relentless efforts \u2064to dismantle Hamas&#8217; infrastructure and protect Israeli citizens continue \u2062to \u2062make a significant impact \u200bon the ongoing conflict.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1700760801843000&#038;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How did the Israel Defense Forces gather intelligence and plan\u2063 for the destruction of Hamas&#8217; tunnels in Gaza City?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Cting various Hamas facilities, including\u2062 their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ukraine-tells-russia-to-go-straight-to-hell-at-russia-led-u-n-meeting-on-russian-invasion-of-ukraine\/\" title=\"Ukraine Tells Russia to 'Go Straight to Hell' at Russia-Led U.N.

The combat engineering forces faced the danger\u200d of booby traps, collapse, and ambushes while navigating the complex network. Their expertise and bravery are \u200dcommendable, \u2064and their\u2063 success highlights the IDF&#8217;s commitment to protecting the \u2063nation.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, this \u200boperation reflects Israel&#8217;s firm resolve to defend itself against terrorism.\u2063 The tunnels were a clear \u2064violation of international law, serving as a means to perpetrate violence against civilians. By neutralizing this threat, Israel upholds\u2064 its right to \u200bself-defense and sends a clear message that it will not tolerate \u200dacts of terror.<\/p>\n<p>This development also underscores \u200dthe complexity of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict \u2062and the ongoing struggle for peace in \u200cthe region. \u2062While the destruction of the tunnels\u200b is a significant blow to Hamas, it is crucial to address the \u200broot causes of the \u2062conflict and work towards a peaceful resolution.<\/p>\n<p>International support and cooperation are essential \u200bin \u200c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/world-leaders-issue-condemnations-of-hamas-attack-on-israel\/\" title=\"World leaders condemn Hamas attack on Israel.\">achieving lasting peace<\/a> in the region.
