New York Post • • world
Key Points:
- The IDF revealed a mile-and-a-half-long Hamas tunnel near Kibbutz Nahal Oz used in the Oct. 7, 2023 attack that killed over 60 soldiers and 15 civilians, and where 18 hostages were held.
- The tunnel network was highly sophisticated, featuring reinforced doors, air conditioning, water systems, lighting, and living quarters capable of housing thousands of Hamas militants for months.
- The surprise Hamas assault overwhelmed the 162 Israeli soldiers stationed at Nahal Oz, resulting in a massacre and kidnappings that were livestreamed by terrorists using victims' phones.
- Despite the IDF controlling nearly 70% of Gaza, including areas with no Palestinians inside, fighting continues as Hamas reportedly uses cease-fire periods to rebuild forces and recruit youth.
- Kibbutz Kfar Aza, near Gaza and heavily affected by the attack with 64 residents killed, now has a significantly reduced population and serves as a poignant reminder of the conflict's human toll.
