IDF soldiers in a staging area outside Gaza. One of the more deceptive and intriguing moments occurred yesterday after the IDF spokesperson delivered statements to the international media, both directly and via social media, of an imminent ground invasion into Gaza. Knowing well that this announcement would affect Hamas's military deployment in real-time, and that they would mobilize their tunnel network, the IAF then launched precision airstrikes on miles of the Hamas "metro" under Gazan territory. Numerous Hamas fighters were killed and the existing tunnel network was largely destroyed.
