Defence Minister Israel Katz said the operation would be conducted under an “international mechanism” led by the United States, sponsor of the three-day-old Gaza ceasefire.
“I have ordered the army to prepare to carry out this mission.”
Some tunnels have passed under the border fence into Israel, enabling surprise attacks.
Katz said the remainder would be destroyed under the framework of Hamas’s disarming and demilitarisation, foreseen in the next stages of the US-backed ceasefire plan.
In exchange, Israel is expected to release 250 “national security prisoners”, including several blamed for deadly attacks, and 1,700 Gazans detained by the military.
But Hamas has resisted calls to disarm, and senior official Hossam Badran told AFP the second phase of the US plan “contains many complexities and difficulties”. – AFP
