Inside the tunnels, rooms are designed for storing explosives, shafts to break from the bowels of the Earth to the surface of the ground, and other characteristics. IDF forces operating in the Gaza Strip blew up dozens of tunnels so far but seems to have dozens more to treat them. While it seems that right now the soldiers are handling only the endpoints of the tunnel according to the occupied territories in their hands. The security sources stressed that if the political echelon want to eliminate the problem, the army needed more time in Greece we don't even ש"כרגע [didn’t translate] in the middle of the road".

On the decline in recent days in rocket shigori explain the IDF as accumulating ability to continue the campaign, Hamas can take in terms of month too. The area was hit a third of the 9,000 rockets that were carried by the terrorist organization at the beginning of the operation, and besides some 2,000 rockets fired at Israel.
The IDF explain that Hamas began a campaign, sought to achieve through mainly civilian culminating achievement will improve economic governance in the territories of the Gaza Strip. The Organization's main strength is in the subterranean depth bombing: Israel in which a soldier was attacked or targeted iiachtef was head of the organisation in accordance with an operational plan or plan, during which several dozen tunnels were dug, not sure they are in by Israel.

After that will come the maneuvering into the Gaza Strip.
The IDF, who set his first hit in the tunnel infrastructure, paints the situation that are required as stated a few days for the treatment of fully tunnels. In addition to extensive operations against the tunnels continues preparations for a possible continuation of the campaign on the leash. If necessary – there are plans to expand the operation.
