Israel’s Katz claims 60 percent of Hamas tunnels remain in Gaza
Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said demilitarising Gaza through the destruction of what he called “terror tunnels” and the disarmament of Hamas is the “most important strategic objective for achieving victory in Gaza”.
“The most urgent moral mission is, of course, the return of all the hostages and the fallen to their homes, and we will do everything to fulfil this sacred and critical mission,” Katz said on X, claiming that 60 percent of the tunnels still remains in Gaza.
“I have instructed the [army] to prioritise the destruction of the tunnels as the central task in the yellow zone currently under our control, alongside protecting the soldiers and communities,” he said.
