Israel considers these particular tunnels (attack tunnels) as a much greater threat than the rockets ... which is why they are concentrating on them now and taking such a long time!

And there is reason for that. Bombay and Mombasa like attacks thwarted:

Mega-siege attack thwarted, US still pushes ceasefire

This war may have prevented a huge planned terror attack

One thing I read about the cease-fire proposal is that the USA’s proposal has the provision that Israeli troops can remain in Gaza while CONTINUING to clean out those “attack tunnels” and destroying them. In other words, that cease-fire would not mean Israel cannot continue to finish the job on those attack tunnels.

One other thing to keep in mind is that Israel has already agreed to a cease-fire - in fact several times thus far — BUT — Hamas has not. So it’s not Israel that is holding up a cease-fire, but it’s Hamas who is holding it up.
