CNN —The myriad tunnels under Gaza are best known as passageways used to smuggle goods from Egypt and launch attacks into Israel. Hamas in 2021 claimed to have built 500 kilometers (311 miles) worth of tunnels under Gaza, though it is unclear if that figure was accurate or posturing. If true, Hamas’ underground tunnels would be a little less than half the length of the New York City subway system. It’s unclear how much the tunnel network would have cost Hamas, which governs the impoverished coastal strip. The IDF is expected to go after the network in its forthcoming ground incursion into Gaza, as it has in recent years gone to extreme lengths to eliminate Hamas’ tunnels.

Jerusalem CNN —Demonstrators took to the streets in Israel on Tuesday for what they are calling a day of “disruption and resistance” against the government’s moves to overhaul the country’s judicial system. The bill is one part of a sweeping package of judicial overhaul measures that would weaken the judiciary. But opponents of the plan say it threatens to turn Israel into a dictatorship by removing the most significant check on government actions. Demonstrators plan to protest at the country’s international airport, Ben Gurion, later on Tuesday. Netanyahu paused the legislative process in March following an unprecedented general strike that shut down much of Israel’s economy.
