In the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, the Israeli army has made significant advances into Gaza, signaling that the days of Hamas in northern Gaza are numbered. Israeli control has been established in most parts of Gaza City, as well as some of the surrounding neighborhoods and cities. However, the southern region of Gaza remains a challenge, with weeks of intense urban warfare anticipated to clear out Hamas from larger cities like Khan Yunis.
Reports suggest that Hamas leader, who is believed to be hiding in Khan Yunis, has made it a stronghold, leading to a more complex situation as the Israeli forces engage in intense battles. Additionally, the discovery of an extensive tunnel infrastructure in the south has presented a new challenge for the Israeli army, indicating a larger network than previously assessed.
