Cement lined tunnels being dug by Hamas into Israel

I was watching on CNN videos of Israeli soldiers going down into these tunnels and being surprised by cement lined tunnels. The problem for Israeli soldiers with these is mostly you cannot blow these up by air, you have to go down into these tunnels and plant explosives to prevent Hamas terrorists from coming through and popping up with AK-47's and picking off Israelis in an area. It appears there are whole networks of these tunnels so destroying enough of them is problematic the way these tunnels have been engineered.

I watched footage on CNN from security cameras watching terrorists popping up in several places shooting Israelis by Palestinian Terrorist Snipers and then trying to hide as planes struck them killing 10 of them in one video on CNN.

It seems like missiles and tunnels are an ongoing campaign by Hamas. So, I would say given that Gaza only legally exists if it isn't weaponized that it is likely Israel will retake Gaza soon with tanks and soldiers and planes to keep these tunnels and missiles from going into Israel. On a simply military level they likely have no choice now.

Public opinion worldwide might not like this but they do have the right of self defense just like all nations on earth legally do.

This is presently a War of Attrition.
