Hamas tunnels destruction during operation protective edge

During Operation Protective Edge, a major focus of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) was on destroying the network of tunnels used by Hamas militants. These tunnels, some of which extended into Israeli territory, were used for smuggling weapons and launching surprise attacks. The IDF employed a combination of air strikes, ground forces, and specialized technology to locate and destroy these tunnels. This aspect of the operation gained international attention due to the complexity and scale of the tunnel network.
