Why are Hamas tunnels under Gaza City a key battlefield for Israel?
 
The tunnels under Gaza are a prime objective for Israel as it expands a ground offensive into Gaza from the north to hit Hamas in retaliation for the Islamist group’s deadly surprise attack into southern Israel on Oct. 7.
 
Health authorities in Hamas-run Gaza say that 8,525 people, including 3,542 children, have been killed in Israeli attacks since Oct. 7. About 1,400 people, mainly civilians, were killed in the cross-border Hamas assault on Oct. 7, Israel says.
 
Reuters has been unable to independently verify casualty counts.
