In the Gaza Strip, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have advanced significantly in their operations against Hamas.
According to the IDF Twitter statement, the two-story underground headquarters, which was dozens of meters below the surface, included a complex network of tunnels that was utilized to plan attacks and terrorist movements. This network was linked to a shaft that went to Ahmad Andur’s house, the commander of Hamas’s Northern Brigade.
