Many remain in the city, considering no place to be safe in the Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The Palestinian militant group Hamas is thought to also still be holding hostages in the city, although it remains unclear how much of its underground tunnel system still exists.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Israel claims to have destroyed large parts of the network through bombings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/articles\/german-foreign-minister-criticizes-israels-094018489.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yahoo is using AI to generate takeaways from this article.
