IDF Destroys Multiple Hamas Terror Tunnels in Northern Gaza

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have been intensifying operations in Gaza, uncovering and dismantling multiple terror tunnels and weapons caches in northern Gaza, including a recent 500-meter tunnel in Beit Hanoun. These efforts are part of the ongoing Swords of Iron campaign aimed at neutralizing Hamas' underground networks and protecting Israeli civilians. Concurrently, the Israeli military is grappling with a significant toll on its soldiers, with over 18,500 injured since October 2023, many suffering from severe psychological trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder, which is impacting both the military and broader Israeli society and economy. The IDF continues to target terrorist infrastructure, having eliminated approximately 400 terrorists and dismantled hundreds of Hamas terror sites in recent months. The escalating number of wounded soldiers has forced Israeli authorities to reassess their treatment plans and resource allocation due to the sharp rise in mental health cases. These developments underscore the ongoing intense conflict and its multifaceted impact on Israel's military capabilities and social fabric.
