Israeli Military Discovers Major Hamas Tunnel Under Civilian Areas

The Israeli military has uncovered a large underground network built by Hamas in the city of Rafah. The tunnel stretches 25 meters (over 80 feet) deep beneath civilian sites, including mosques and schools. Military analysts describe the discovery as a significant development. They state that destroying such a major piece of infrastructure, which cost millions to build, weakens Hamas's operational abilities. The tunnel's location under civilian buildings raises serious concerns. International law requires armed groups to avoid using protected sites like schools and places of worship for military purposes.
