"We will pursue the return of our hostages through all means possible; I repeat, through all means possible."

“Sinwar insists on guarantees for his safety and life,” including after the war is over.”

"It is critical to remember the goals of the war and to achieve them . . . We also understand why we are looking toward the north.”

Both Israel and Hezbollah learned much about tunnel fighting from the IDF's war in Gaza.

The troops have eliminated more than 150 terrorists in the area, destroying weapons storage facilities and tracking down weapons caches.

The extraordinary tunnel system apparently went undetected by Israel and possibly by Egypt as well.

In some of the branches, terrorists' hideouts and control and command centers were located. In one of the tunnels, weapons and intelligence documents were located.

Israeli forces found 20 terrorist smuggling tunnels and some 82 tunnel shafts during operations in the Philadelphi Corridor.

The troops are also continuing operational activities in the northern Gaza town of Jabaliya and around the Netzarim Corridor in central Gaza.

The Corridor, which separates the north and south of the Gaza Strip, is used by the IDF to carry out targeted raids and ambushes.

Israeli military forces have discovered elevators in numerous Hamas terror tunnels over the past three months while searching the subterranean "Gaza Metro" labyrinth.

"Water was only pumped into tunnel routes and locations that were suitable, matching the method of operation to each case, the IDF said."

In March 2021, the IDF discovered a 4-meter high, 5-meter-wide tunnel that had been dug under Rt. 35

The senior command of the terrorist organization, including Gaza's Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar and the group's military commander, Mohammed Deif, are believed to be hiding somewhere in the tunnel complex.

The Alma Center report said they connect entire regions of the country to one another; some tunnels are able to allow pick-up trucks with multi-barrel rocket launchers to fire, vanish and re-emerge tens of kilometers from the firing point.

The tunnel, like the first three, has been booby-trapped by the IDF and anyone entering it on the Lebanese side risks his life.

"The [Hamas] battalion command’s entire infrastructure has been destroyed, vaporized, turned into a giant hole."

"Thanks to the people sitting here we took away Hamas' strategic weapon. The attack tunnels have become burial tunnels."

The lab is also working on improving existing technologies as well as developing new ways of discovering what lies beneath the surface, and methods of mapping the dynamics below.

Israeli farmers are allowed to return to their fields near the Gaza border.

Hamas is again stealing construction supplies from Gazans, building terror tunnels instead of homes for its people.

Another terror tunnel collapses and five more Hamas diggers are missing and may be dead.

If we're already being creative, here's another thought...

COGAT says, Hamas forcibly took control of warehouses of building materials and confiscated the contents to serve the needs of the organization.

A captured Hamas fighter has revealed a wealth of information about terror tunnels and attack plans.

The system was recently activated and installed surrounding the Gaza Strip.

Presumably without enough concrete Hamas must be building substandard terror tunnels.

The terrorist organization's "exposé" to a friendly Lebanese newspaper also is justification for the IDF to bomb human shields.

The head of Turkey's religious affairs warms up Erdogan's ties with Hamas in his first visit to Gaza.

IDF intelligence sources say Mashaal feared fierce Israeli response.
