The last phase of the Israeli war—it is now little more than a manhunt—is underway in the maze of tunnels under Rafah. I’ve been told that five of the twelve tunnels have been flooded and a few battle-hardened Israeli battalions, whose ranks include many combat engineers skilled in demolition, are working their way in the dark and booby-trapped tunnels toward Yahya Sinwar, the Hamas leader who is Netanyahu’s ultimate target.
