The Gaza-Egypt border, especially the Philadelphi Corridor, is a crucial strategic area in the ongoing conflict, serving as a vital route for Hamas’s operations.
The extensive tunnel network, some large enough for vehicles, is used to smuggle ammunition and rockets into Gaza, bolstering Hamas’s military capabilities.
In response, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have been actively dismantling these tunnels, uncovering hostages and discovering booby-trapped houses in their extensive search.
