Indonesian News for Learners – Israel Plans Major Operation to Destroy Hamas Tunnels (Oct 12 2025)

🇮🇩 Ringkasan Berita (Bahasa Indonesia)

Pemerintah Israel akan melancarkan operasi besar-besaran untuk menghancurkan jaringan terowongan bawah tanah Hamas yang tersisa di Gaza. Menteri Pertahanan Israel Israel Katz menyatakan operasi ini akan dilaksanakan setelah seluruh sandera dibebaskan dan akan berada di bawah “mekanisme internasional” yang dipimpin oleh Amerika Serikat, sponsor utama gencatan senjata di Gaza.

Hamas telah menyetujui tahap pertama rencana tersebut yang menghasilkan gencatan senjata pada 10 Oktober. Tahap berikutnya meliputi pembebasan 48 sandera Israel serta sekitar 250 tahanan politik Palestina dan 1.700 warga Gaza. Namun, Hamas menolak seruan untuk melucuti senjata dan menilai tahap kedua rencana itu masih rumit dan penuh tantangan.

🇬🇧 English Summary

The Israeli government announced a major operation to destroy the remaining underground tunnel network of Hamas in Gaza. Defense Minister Israel Katz said the operation would begin after the release of all hostages and take place under an international mechanism led by the United States, the main sponsor of the current ceasefire in Gaza.

Hamas has agreed to the first stage of the plan, which brought a ceasefire on October 10. The next phase includes the release of 48 Israeli hostages, along with 250 Palestinian political prisoners and 1,700 Gazans. However, Hamas refuses to disarm and describes the second stage as complex and challenging.
