Israel is far superior to Hamas. However, the militant group has been using an ingenious weapon to surprise the Israelis. They have dug a labyrinth of tunnels deep inside Gaza. These tunnels are used to smuggle & store weapons. Wion's Ghadi Francis visited these tunnels in 2013. Since then, these tunnels have expanded deeper and wider.

With the world already facing an economic slowdown, the war may push the world into a recession. In the worst-case scenario of a direct conflict between Israel and Iran, a Bloomberg analysis estimates that oil prices could soar to 150 dollars a barrel.

Hamas on Thursday "firmly" denied involvement in the killing and beheading of infants. Responding to the accusations, a spokesperson for the militant outfit said that allegations were "unethically and unprofessionally adopted by western media outlets."&nbsp;

Hamas denies involvement in killing and beheading of babies, alleges 'media bias'

Last Saturday, Hamas caught Israel off guard. It launched attacks from the ground, water and air, but that was the only day it had the upper hand. In the last week, Gaza has been reduced to rubble. Israel has vowed to wipe Hamas off the face of the earth. Things have gone out of Hamas' hands. Is it failing to finish what it started? Is this the end of Hamas?

Ever since the Hamas-Israel war started the issue of hostages taken by the militants has been at the heart of this conflict. The fact that hostages include foreign Nationals from Canada, the US, France, Thailand and Nepal has only compounded the whole problem. There are reports of Hamas releasing three hostages a video circulating on the internet appears to show Hamas soldiers releasing a female hostage along with two children near the Gaza-Israel border.

According to a report published in Bloomberg, Israeli troops are massing for a suspected ground invasion of Gaza. The country's national security establishment and public have been demanding retribution for the attacks carried out by the Hamas militants over the weekend, which took the lives of more than 1,300 Israelis.&nbsp;

However, it will be a complicated task for the Israeli Army to carry out a ground invasion considering the dense population of Gaza, its complex underground network of tunnels and the threat that the Israelis, Americans and others have been facing as hostages.&nbsp;

"The problem is that it's basically house-to-house fighting once you get into Gaza. And so it could be a heavy price," said former US defence secretary and CIA director Leon Panetta on Tuesday (Oct 10) while speaking on Bloomberg Television's "Balance of Power."

"But on the other hand, I think it's very clear that Israel has made the decision that they have got to crush Hamas in Gaza," he added. &nbsp;&nbsp;

An invasion would lead to heavy casualties on the two sides and questions about whether Israel can plan an exit strategy for the conflict.

This can also lead to ripple effects throughout the Middle East and endanger the fragile rapprochement of Israel with its Arab neighbours, increasing the risks of conflict turning into a broader regional war.
