Got a major update from the Israel-Gaza front: Israel is all set to wipe out the remaining Hamas's tunnel network under Gaza once the hostages are home safe! 🛡️
Defense Minister Israel Katz says the mission will roll out under a US-led international team. Think of it like a global squad clearing underground routes step by step. 🌍
These tunnels have been Hamas's secret pathways—some even sneak under the border fence into Israel for surprise attacks. Many have been busted in the past two years, but a few still run beneath the ground.
Under the next phase of the US-backed ceasefire plan, Israel will aim to clear out these tunnels as part of disarming and demilitarizing Hamas—basically asking fighters to give up weapons and lay down arms. 💥🔧
Here's how the deal works so far: the truce kicked in last Friday, and by Monday, 48 Israeli hostages (alive and some sadly deceased) will be released. In return, Israel will free 250 "national security prisoners" and 1,700 Gazans held by the military. 🤝
Still, Hamas's senior official Hossam Badran warns that disarming is no walk in the park—calling the next steps "complex and tricky." 😬
With eyes on the region, this stage will be a real test for peace efforts and hopes for a calmer future. Stay tuned for what comes next! 📲
