A 4km tunnel? That's massive. Reminds you of the sophisticated threats security forces have to deal with. Our own forces in Jammu & Kashmir face similar challenges with cross-border tunnels. Solidarity with all those fighting terrorism.

The report mentions finding an "instruction manual for preparing explosives." This is chilling. It shows how terrorism is becoming a DIY industry online. Global cooperation is needed to curb this radicalization, not just military action.

Reading this from Delhi. It's a complex situation. One side's "anti-terror achievement" is another side's devastation. The world needs more dialogue and less destruction. The ceasefire agreement mentioned is a step, but is it being fully honored by both sides?

The technological and engineering effort to build such a long underground route is significant. Sadly, that effort and resource is directed towards war. Imagine if that energy went into building schools or hospitals instead. What a waste of human potential.

As an Indian, my first thought is always for the safety of our Jewish brothers and sisters here. We have seen terror firsthand. Dismantling launch sites and tunnels is crucial for security. But the cycle of violence has to end somewhere.
