The IDF is pushing for permission to eliminate, or accept the surrender of, around 100 Hamas terrorists holed up in tunnels in Israeli-controlled territory in the Gaza Strip, according to Channel 12. Any such move would need government approval.
The US has been pushing Israel to allow them safe passage to Hamas-controlled Gaza or overseas exile if they give up their weapons.
The operatives are commanded by a Hamas deputy battalion commander from Rafah, the IDF tells the outlet.
The mediating countries are able to communicate with the Hamas terror operatives, per the report.
