Hamas’ armed wing on Wednesday, November 8, released a video that appeared to show intense street battles alongside bombed out buildings in Gaza City. While a plan has yet to emerge, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken outlined Washington’s expectations for the besieged coastal territory. Khalil al-Hayya, a member of Hamas’ leadership, told the New York Times that the group’s assault on Israel was intended to shatter the status quo and open a new chapter in its fight against Israel.

Israel’s combat engineers were using explosive devices to destroy Hamas’ tunnel network that stretches for hundreds of kilometers beneath Gaza, he said. The military said it had destroyed 130 tunnel shafts so far. Lieutenant Colonel Ido, deputy commander of the 401st Brigade, who did not give his last name, said that by the time soldiers reached these buildings, all the families had left.
