Israel blows up 'subterranean terror city' in Gaza where Oct. 7 attack was plotted.
Israel has apparently destroyed the underground tunnel network that was used by Hamas to plot the surprise attack on October 7. The Jewish state has characterized the underground system as a "subterranean terror city," according to the
Telegraph.
The terrorist network was discovered underneath Palestine Square by the IDF. The network reportedly contained a number of long tunnels that attached hiding places and offices of Hamas leaders. The development comes after Israel had
considered flooding the underground tunnels, making them unusable in the future.
The IDF released footage on Thursday, revealing a number of explosions that ultimately destroyed the underground network. Earlier in the week, Israel confirmed that it had gained control of Hamas' innermost quarter in Gaza City, where many of the top officials operated.
The Telegraph reported that the complex could be described as a "centre of power for Hamas' military and political wing." The IDF went on to say that around 600 Hamas terrorists were killed in the operation, but this figure has not been confirmed.
The report noted that the IDF released a statement, saying that "Palestine Square was a center of Hamas’s military rule and is surrounded by buildings that served as command and control centers, terror tunnel shafts and strategic buildings belonging to the organization."
