The IDF completed work to destroy 32 attack tunnels in Gaza overnight between Monday and Tuesday, a senior army source said. The source spoke shortly before the 8 a.m. cease-fire.
“We will prepare outside of the Strip,” the source said. The IDF is not moving forces away from the Gaza border area, the source said. “We are staying on stand by. We must see what happens on the ground, and the situation will be judged based on developments. On that basis, we will act,” the source added.
“In the event of hostile fire, we will respond. Those are the orders that were given to the forces,” said the source.
Hamas’s rocket and tunnel capabilities have been severely hit, the source said, adding that Hamas did not expect this level of damage. Its command and control capabilities are damaged to the point where the military wing no longer knows the location and status of all of its cells. “I think that Hamas was surprised on a number of occasions,” he said.
“When I compare this to the goals of the operation, I think that these have been achieved,” the source continued. “There is a reality that has to be managed, and we must see whether in the coming days and beyond Hamas will try to pull off a surprise,” he added.

Don’t trust a Government who betrayed, betrays & ignores the right of its civilians living safely! Our government lost credibility and morals .. they are more concerned about the residents of GAZA and not to harm the Terrorist Enemy State than they are for our citizens…
IDF, MOSAD were silence for the past 5 years & they knew all about the Tunnels but Netanyahu & his Cabinet bunch of Lefty Self Hating Jews did nothing to avoid the Tunnel & Rockets Issue! Our Anti G-d Zionist Government is the Cause of our Miseries in Israel .. they Allow and sponsor GAY PARADE’s in the Holy Land in JERUSALEM!!..
They sacrifice the Life of our Young Heores for Pointless War without destroying the Enemy… in this WAR we LOST! We have to Admit that we lost since 63 Soldiers lost their lives for Politics… we could have finished the WAR with the Terrorist GAZA state in a day but they chose to endanger the life our Soldiers our young heroes by insane policy of don’t shoot unless you are shot at! watch for Terrorist Civilians in GAZA and that caused 63 innocent lives.. SHAME ON OUR GOVERNMENT for FAILING TO PROTECT ITS CITIZENS FROM THE DAILY TERROR ACTIVITY IN ISRAEL! WE NEED A RELIGIOUS ZIONIST
have to agree 100% with the #1 why did we pull out ? They caused this in the first place with the Gush Katif catastrophe and now they are walking way without finishing the job and with rockets still flying for heaven sake.
