Israel plans to destroy what remains of Hamas’s network of tunnels under Gaza, working with US approval after its hostages are freed, it said Sunday.
Defence Minister Israel Katz said the operation would be conducted under an “international mechanism” led by the United States, sponsor of the three-day-old Gaza ceasefire.
“Israel’s great challenge after the hostage release phase will be the destruction of all Hamas terrorist tunnels in Gaza,” Katz said in a statement.
“I have ordered the army to prepare to carry out this mission.”
