"Last week, the fighters exchanged fire with Hamas terrorists in the Hamas underground systems," said an officer, adding, "In our estimation, not only because we surprised them, but especially because we are starting to reach the depth of the tunnels. Not to a marginal tunnel or the parts of the shaft that are an end of low importance. In the depth of the tunnel, it is estimated that the senior officials are hiding, and from this it is also possible to understand how big the system is and how branched it is."
IDF officers claim that the special units have developed a unique method for handling the branched system of the tunnels and are conducting underground warfare using ground-breaking methods and on a global scale - which is why the Minister of Defense praised them indirectly.

"For example, the fighters know how to deal with the very heavy top doors that separate the parts of the tunnels and protect the terrorists from airstrikes or hunting," said one of the officers, "the problem is that the rate of progress is very slow due to the high level of safety and the risk to the forces. Therefore, those who want accurate results should To be determined and to wait patiently. All this happens when a tree-ground maneuver against the Khan Yunis battalions is taking place above."
The officer also said, "The IDF reached the places where Sinwar was."
He's busy running away, otherwise he wouldn't leave any marks behind.
We have already been to a number of centers where he stayed - the hunt for him is complex for many reasons.
Therefore, the negotiations with Hamas also take a long time.
He is also difficult to locate because he is on the run.
He or his people will eventually make mistakes and we will find out.
That's why he wants to stop the war in order to survive."
