‘Israel’ admits majority of Hamas tunnels still intact after two years of assault: report

• 'Israeli' defense minister Katz to US VP Vance: 60% of Hamas tunnels were not destroyed during the war 
• Katz to Vance: The remaining Hamas tunnels are located on body sides of the yellow line

‘Israeli’ defense minister Israel Katz told US Vice President JD Vance during his visit that more than 60% of Hamas tunnels were not destroyed during the ‘Israeli’ assault on the Gaza Strip.

The remaining Hamas tunnels are located on both sides of the newly established yellow line, according to Katz’s comments to Vance, per a report by Hebrew Channel 12.

“One of those tunnels was used by the terrorists who killed two IDF soldiers last week during an operation in the Rafah area,” the report added.

“The destruction of the tunnels is the most important joint mission in the demilitarization of Gaza, in accordance with the Trump plan, and preparations must be made to carry it out,” Katz told Vance.

He added, “We must bring back all the hostages and fallen, eliminate all the tunnels, take the weapons from Hamas, and ensure it is not a governing force in Gaza.”
