While security is paramount, the human cost on both sides is devastating. 2km is a massive tunnel. It must have taken significant resources to build—resources that could have helped the people of Gaza. A tragic cycle of violence.

The scale of the October 7 attack, 1200 killed, is just shocking. Tunnels like these are a direct threat. Israel has every right to defend its borders. We stand with them against terrorism.

The article mentions the body of Sgt. Ran Gvili is still in Gaza. That's heartbreaking for his family. The focus should be on recovering the fallen and the living captives. The tunnel destruction is just one step.

A tough situation. From an Indian perspective, we know state sovereignty is non-negotiable. However, the ultimate goal must be a lasting political solution. Endless military action alone hasn't brought peace anywhere.

It's a complex issue. The loss of life is always tragic. But as a mother, I can't imagine the pain of the families whose loved ones were taken captive. Their safe return should be the top priority for any negotiations.
