The Israeli Air Force attacked roughly 150 underground Hamas targets in northern Gaza overnight as Israel continues its effort to dismꦫantle the terrorist organization’s military capabilities in the enclave.
“During the attack,💫 terrorists of the terrorist organization Hamas were eliminated and combat tunnels, underground combat spaces and other underground terrorist infrastructures were destroyed,” the IAF wrote in a post on X.
Israel has been attempting to disable Hamas’s vast network of tun𝄹nels in the Gaza Strip since the outbreak of the war on Oct. 7.
The Israeli military claimed Hamas ♕is hiding key entries and 🐻exits for its 300-mile tunnel network beneath Gaza’s main medic꧒al center, al-Shifa Hospital.
“Hamas has turned hospitals into command and control cen🎀ters and hideouts for Hamas terrorists and commanders,” Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, Israel’s chief military spokesman, said at a news💞 conference, according to Reuters.
