This picture was taken during a media tour organized by the Israeli military on December 27, 2023. It shows a tunnel that Hamas reportedly used to attack Israel through the Erez border crossing on Oct. 7. The Israeli army said on it had uncovered the biggest Hamas tunnel in the Gaza Strip so far, just a few hundred meters from the Erez border crossing.

It has been over one hundred days since the war between Israel and Hamas began with an attack on Israel October 7th, killing over 1,200 with more than two hundred Israelis taken hostage. Israel responded with a ground, air and sea offensive on Gaza that has killed thousands and displaced many more. Israel has vowed to eliminate Hamas. We investigate whether, after a hundred days, Israel is any closer to that goal.
