Israel's Uncovering of 800 Hamas Tunnels Exposes Exploitation of Gaza's Civilian Infrastructure

Israeli forces have uncovered 800 shafts leading to Hamas' extensive network of tunnels and bunkers in Gaza since the ground operation began in October, destroying over half of them. The tunnels, comparable in size to the New York subway system, have been used by Hamas as operational bases and for protection. The military stated that many of the tunnel shafts were located in civilian areas, including schools, kindergartens, mosques, and playgrounds. The civilian toll of the war has raised concerns among world powers, with the US urging Israel to exercise caution.
