Israel reportedly targets Gaza with 'bunker buster' bombs to destroy tunnel networks

The Israeli military has reportedly deployed so-called "bunker buster" bombs in an effort to destroy Hamas terrorists' network of tunnels in Gaza.

Israel conducted some 600 airstrikes in Gaza overnight Monday, targeting Hamas rocket and anti-tank missile positions. Israel has long warned of Hamas' 500-mile network of tunnels beneath the Gaza Strip, where they house munitions and key headquarters.

Fox News guest and former Lt. Col. in the Marine Corps. Chris Banweg likened Hamas' tunnesl to "another city underground." He went on to warn that there is "no limit" to the traps and ambushes that Hamas terrorists have likely prepared in their tunnel systems.

Most bunker buster bombs are capable of penetrating up to 100 feet of earth and 20 ft of reinforced concrete.
