Israeli Defense Minister Katz said on the 12th that he had instructed the Israel Defense Forces to prepare to destroy all tunnels owned by the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in the Gaza Strip.

He said the main challenge for Israel after the deportation phase ended would be to destroy all Hamas¡¯ underground tunnels in the Gaza Strip, which would require both direct Israeli action and an international mechanism to be established under U.S. leadership and supervision.

Katz said that this is the primary significance of implementing the established principles of demilitarization of Gaza and disarming Hamas.He has instructed the Israel Defense Forces to prepare for this task¡£

It is unclear how the Israeli army will destroy Hamas tunnels in areas not controlled by the Israeli army. (Headquarters reporter Li Xiang)
