Israel uses new fighting method against Hamas terrorists
According to a spokesman, Israel’s army is now using explosives to kill Hamas terrorists in the tunnels under the Gaza Strip. “We have new fighting methods that we will use to kill terrorists,” said Israeli army spokesman Daniel Hagari on Thursday evening. Hamas fighters and especially their leaders hid in the underground tunnels. “We will invade, plant explosives in places we know the terrorists frequent, and wait for the right moment to kill them underground,” Hagari said. “The terrorists will not be safe underground.”
Beneath the Gaza Strip, a network of tunnels stretches for many kilometers in which, according to Israel, numerous terrorists from the Islamist Hamas are hiding and are also holding Israeli hostages. To withstand Israeli bombs from the air, some tunnels extend dozens of meters underground. At the same time, the terrorists use them to appear out of nowhere and attack from behind. Many tunnels are booby-trapped to kill Israeli soldiers who enter them.

According to the White House, the two heads of state discussed efforts to increase humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, but also the protection of the civilian population and the need for a political framework for the Palestinians.
