ISRAEL & US DECIDE FATE OF TRAPPED HAMAS – Israeli officials say action on militants hiding in Gaza tunnels will be made jointly with US
Israel says any decision on Hamas militants trapped in Gaza tunnels will be made in coordination with the United States. The comment came after reports that several senior Hamas commanders are cornered beneath Gaza City.
An Israeli government spokesperson said the situation remains “fluid,” with options ranging from surrender demands to targeted strikes.
Washington has urged caution to avoid civilian casualties as humanitarian conditions worsen in the area. Israeli forces continue to push deeper into tunnel networks described as “the heart of Hamas operations.”
US military advisers are said to be assisting Israel with intelligence and surveillance support. The joint decision underscores the growing strategic cooperation between the two allies amid an increasingly complex phase of the war.
