Israel braces for ‘nightmare’ warfare in Gaza ground invasion
The Israeli Defence Forces face booby traps, snipers, tunnels and casualties in a potential ground offensive to root out Hamas militants.
Eyal was 26 when the army sapper first entered Gaza, sent in by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to help dismantle the extensive tunnels that Hamas had dug to hide its fighters and sneak into Israeli territory.
Nine years later, he is preparing for Netanyahu to send him back, to take down the militant group itself. This time, Eyal knows what awaits him and his comrades.
