Israeli forces have deployed robots and various explosive devices to destroy Hamas tunnels and kill terrorists, according to local media.<\/p>\n

The Walla News site in Israel said large-scale operations to clear the tunnels began in areas of the Gaza Strip now under the control of the IDF.<\/p>\n

A senior officer in the Southern Command told the outlet: \u201cMaybe at first they were able to harass us, sting us by firing from tunnel exits, but after we established control of the areas, the engineering operation started.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cWe are going to collapse the entrances and the tunnels on them. It will become a death zone. They made a mistake, they chose to be in a place they could not escape from. They will die in the tunnels.\u201d<\/p>\n

The report suggested that Israeli forces had already destroyed 100 tunnels not including those taken out in air strikes since the beginning of the ground operation.<\/p>\n

The IDF also reported that the military had surrounded Gaza City and was fighting pitched battles with Hamas terrorists deep inside the centre.<\/p>\n

Since the start of the war on October 7, more than 9,000 people have been killed in Gaza, according to the Hamas-run health ministry there.<\/p>\n

Israel declared war on the terror group after thousands of its fighters stormed into Israel brutally killing 1,400 people, the vast majority civilians.<\/p>\n

The rising death toll and humanitarian situation in Gaza has led to calls for a pause in the fighting, including from US President Joe Biden.<\/p>\n
