The trigger of this round of conflict in Gaza is that the Israeli military has found that Hamas is suspected of digging and building an underground tunnel network near Rafah in the south of Gaza.The Israeli military executives judged that the tunnel system may be used by Hamas as a strategic penetration channel, posing a potential threat to the settlements in southern Israel.
In order to cut off Hamas's underground activities, the Israeli military launched a precision attack on the suspected tunnel entrance.At the same time, a ground force consisting of tanks, armored vehicles and other heavy weapons went to Rafah to "clear" the suspected underground armed tunnels.
Hamas's counterattack mainly relies on rockets.The organization continued to fire rockets of various ranges into Israel, including M75 long-range rockets with a range of more than 200 kilometers.Although the Israeli "Iron Dome" air defense system successfully intercepted a large number of incoming missiles, some of them still landed, causing casualties.
Israel insists that it will consider diplomatic measures only after ensuring that Hamas's force is suppressed.Its commander has repeatedly reiterated: "The goal is to eliminate the threat to Israel. As long as Hamas is still launching missiles, the attack will continue."
At the same time, Hamas questioned whether Israel could finally solve the problem by force.The spokesman of the organization said: "The occupation cannot be ended through bombs and missiles, and the differences will eventually be resolved through diplomatic negotiations."
