The magnitude of the tunnels implies that many skilled workers a.k.a civilians were involved and knew what they were for. Gazans should take a long look at themselves in the mirror and ask "mirror, mirror on the wall who is responsible for this war? and stop shifting blame!

This old Australian Vietnam veteran is following your briefs closely and while I admire all branches of the IDF, it is great to see the medical branch mentioned, having seen the medics in action in Vietnam what they do is very important for the morale of the troops and their contribution is just as heroic as the other branches.

Shabbat shalom everyone, thank you LTC Hecht and team. We fear for every warrior who has to enter these tunnels while the world remains silent infront of the evidence of their existence. I also would like to share a thought on the declaration from the now ex-President of Harvard Ms C Gay who said when questioned about anti-semitism on campus that it is when "speech crosses into conduct, that violates our policies". History books are all about speeches crossing into conduct! It is inevitable that speeches cross into conduct. 7/10 is the direct result of how speeches cross into conduct. That is why calling for the destuction of a people is not freedom of speech! It is incitement for hate and murder.

Thank you LTC Richard Hecht for your accurate information. Wishing all IDF and other units force and to prevail. You're fighting to eradicate the evil commanders & executives of an ideologie which has spread into the world for decades now.

Standing firm, shalom Shabbat 🙏🏽to all of you & readers too.

Reading the updates and watching the videos is so reassuring and inspiring, seeing the tunnels explode and knowing this reduces further the possible combat scenarios for Hamas. Also knowing the progress that is being made through this with gathering intelligence and information on Hamas operations and infrastructure! Nothing will be wasted as you have the best people in the world! But for now I hope all the brave and very capable soldiers involved in this operation can have a peaceful weekend and are protected.

Thank you Sir for an excellent update. Very informative.

I love the way IDF warriors care so deeply for one another. It was touching to see the ones reach out and pat the arm of the one carrying the gurney and then pat the leg of the one on the gurney. He then walked alongside the gurney with his hand hand still reassuringly on the wounded soldier’s leg. I am certain he prayed as he walked alongside the wounded.

What amazing accomplishments the fierce Israeli warriors are making. I truly thank the Lord Almighty for each one.

The Chief of the General Staff, LTG Herzi Halevi, is spot on! The high spirit of the Israeli warriors along with the intervention of the Most High is enough.

Continuing to pray for Israel and her incredible warriors.

May God give you victory quickly than anticipated. Please, do not return Gaza to the Palestinians if you don't want the repeat of October 7

I fear the same thing will happen to Gaza & West Bank since generations of Palestinians have been "educated" aka indoctrinated to hate and kill "infidels" not only Jews. Thanks to HAMAS & UNWRA. In France fragile youngsters, adolescents and young women have (been) seduced & manipulated others to commit terrorist crimes against infidels, innocent citizens. Some claimed having joined Syria, and recrutes are seduced by wanting to belong to terrorist groups proclaiming false ideologies of "unity" & "purity" while young men, adolescents are seduced by the forecast of heavenly luxury palaces full of willing virgins in the afterlife once becoming martyrs. The world has gone nuts. It's atrocious to see millions of people victimizing themselves while being raised as potential killers & martyrs, which is the highest ambition for most kids teens & younger generations since decades. Stand strong Israël. The world owes you the knowledge of basic human rights, democratie and so much more. Shalom 🙏🏽

I expected the tunnel networks to be large, but this is beyond my imagination.

The amount of manpower, planning, time, money and dedication needed for construction of this is incredible and as another commentator pointed out a lot of civilians must have been aware or passively/actively been involved, cant imagine how else such large constructions would be possible.

Its kind of satisfying to watch the videos of those tunnels blowing up as they are somewhat a symbol of the terrorism that lead to so much suffering.

So grateful to every one of you in the IDF -- and to the families.

We keep seeing these heroic Israeli moms. This was posted with video by AdamAlbilya (from Israel, I think). All the text below is his and his quote of the mom of a fallen IDF soldier.

Mother of fallen IDF soldier with a message to the world: “My son fought so it can be safe for Jews to live in our homeland” 🇮🇱❤️

Beautiful mother, your heroic son will forever be remembered; Sergeant Binyamin Meir Airly z''l from our city of Beit Shemesh🕯

Now is the time of bitter resolve and unflinching determination, the end of the beginning, and the relentless pursuit of Hamas and an unceasing effort to find and release hostages. Do not doubt support for Israel is deep, fixed, and unmoving. God keep you all safe.
