Additionally, recent operations saw Hamas militants attacking Israeli troops from hidden tunnels in Khan Younis, prompting IDF responses aimed at neutralizing Hamas attack tunnels. The conflict has exacted a heavy toll on both sides, with over 33,000 Palestinian lives lost according to Gaza's Health Ministry. Amid mounting international pressure, Israel's leadership under Prime Minister Netanyahu stresses efforts to minimize civilian casualties while navigating complex diplomatic and military challenges in the region.
