"On Tuesday, Hamas militants emerged from a tunnel and fired at Israeli troops, killing one, according to the IDF. The Israelis declared that a violation of the ceasefire and launched massive airstrikes that killed more than 100 Palestinians, among them women and children, before resuming the ceasefire. Hamas claimed it didn't order that attack and had lost contact with militants who were left behind in the IDF-controlled areas."
"A senior IDF officer said there are dozens of Hamas militants still hiding in tunnels in the on the Israeli side of the "yellow line," which separates the zones of control, particularly in the cities of Khan Younis and Rafah. "These are pockets that have not been cleared. We are working on a thorough and systematic clearing of these areas," the IDF officer said."
Dozens of Hamas militants remain hidden in tunnels on the Israeli side of the yellow line, particularly around Khan Younis and Rafah, posing ongoing threats to Israeli forces. On Tuesday, militants emerged from a tunnel and fired at Israeli troops, killing one, which triggered Israeli airstrikes that killed over 100 Palestinians, including women and children, before the ceasefire resumed. Hamas said it did not order that attack and had lost contact with militants left behind. U.S. officials privately viewed the Israeli response as disproportionate and pushed for measures to avoid another escalation, notifying Hamas to evacuate militants east of the yellow line.
