Israeli government spokesman Elon Levy described the tunnels used by the Islamist group Hamas as unique, while a British newspaper quoted another official as saying that destroying the Gaza tunnels was like science fiction.
Levy said Benjamin Netanyahu's government was committed to achieving war goals, including the release of hostages and ending Hamas rule.
Jericho is an ancient Palestinian city dating back more than 10,000 years. It is known for its fertility and water wealth, and it is the basket of Palestinian vegetables and fruits. It was included in the UNESCO list on September 17, 2023.
It is noteworthy that Israel was established on occupied Arab land in 1948, and annexed Jerusalem and the West Bank in 1967. Throughout its 75 years, it has continued to kill and arrest Palestinians, expand settlement activity in the West Bank, launch military operations in Gaza, and attack Islamic and Christian sanctities in Jerusalem.
