Hamas fighters trapped in tunnels present new obstacle to Gaza ceasefire progress

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have stated that Hamas operatives are using the tunnels to launch attacks on Israeli territory, making it challenging to establish a lasting truce.
The IDF has emphasized the strategic threat posed by the tunnels, highlighting the need to dismantle Hamas’ underground infrastructure to ensure the safety and security of Israeli civilians. Israeli officials have reiterated their commitment to defending the nation against terrorist activities.

The presence of Hamas fighters in tunnels adds a layer of difficulty to the ceasefire negotiations. Progress towards a lasting peace agreement faces obstacles as long as the issue of underground tunnels remains unresolved.
