Stunning footage reportedly shows Israeli Air Force (IAF) strikes targeting a Hamas tunnel system under the Gaza Strip.

The blast plumes shoot straight up, indicating subterranean detonations. The fiery nature of the explosions is interesting. It's possible the Israelis are using some sort of Fuel-air, vacuum-type bomb which combusts the local oxygen, ensuring injury and death to those even in parts of the tunnels not directly effected by the detonation itself.

Hamas has spent years developing underground tunnel systems to operate and maneuver undetected. According to IDF intelligence, Hamas built a massive headquarters and terrorist base complex directly beneath the Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City.
