Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz on Sunday said that he instructed the army to prepare for the demolition of what he claimed are underground tunnels used by the Palestinian group Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Katz called the demolition "the major challenge for Israel after the phase of returning the hostages," claiming that it would be carried out "directly by the IDF and through the international mechanism to be established under US leadership and supervision."
The minister claimed that the demolition of tunnels is the "primary meaning" of the agreed demilitarization of Gaza and disarmament of Hamas under the ceasefire deal.
US President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that Israel and Hamas had agreed to the first phase of a 20-point plan he laid out on Sept. 29 to bring a ceasefire to Gaza, release all Israeli captives being held there in exchange for around 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, and a gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces from the entire Gaza Strip.
Phase one of the Gaza ceasefire agreement took effect at midday Friday. Israeli forces completed a gradual withdrawal to the so-called yellow line, triggering a 72-hour window for the exchange process.

以色列國防部長卡茲週日表示,已指示軍方準備摧毀據稱由巴勒斯坦組織哈瑪斯在加薩走廊使用的地道。卡茲稱這項摧毀行動是「以色列在人質返回階段後的主要挑戰」,將「由以色列國防軍直接執行,並透過美國領導與監督下建立的國際機制進行」。
以色列防長說,隧道的摧毀是停火協議中,加薩非軍事化與哈瑪斯解除武裝的「主要意涵」。
美國總統川普週三宣布,以色列與哈瑪斯已同意他在9月29日提出的20點計畫第一階段;該計畫將讓加薩停火,釋放所有被扣押的以色列人質,以換取約2000名巴勒斯坦囚犯,並讓以軍逐步撤出整個加薩走廊。
加薩停火協議第一階段於週五中午生效。以色列部隊已逐步撤退至所謂的「黃線」,啟動為期72小時的人質與囚犯交換流程。
