Israel's military chief foresees months of conflict with Hamas in Gaza, underscoring the need for persistent efforts to dismantle the group and ensure lasting security.

The recent discovery of a 1.7-kilometer terror tunnel extending from Gaza to the western Negev kibbutz of Ein Hashlosha in the Eshkol region, near the Gaza border, demonstrates the serious security threat faced by Israel and its need to remain on high alert.
