🇮🇱 - It is unclear (and seemingly impossible) how the process of bomb extraction would take place to begin with anyway, the IDF controls no areas but 40% of Rafah and the Netzarim Corridor (as shown in the map), would they have to launch a raid, which would require more bombs to be dropped AGAIN in the well defended areas that they've struggled to enter throughout the war to pick up the bombs they've left earlier.
Do they have the locations of the bombs that haven't exploded?

Moreover, The Gazan EOD (bomb disposal team), which works under the Hamas interior ministry is still VERY active throughout the strip, however face obstacles (literally and metaphorically) worse than any other battlefield, due to the ban and restriction of the import of vital items for the process of extraction, as well as due to the fact that there are more than 37 MILLION tonnes of debris across the strip according to the UNMAS (UN Mine Action Service), which would take 14 years in the most ideal conditions to clear up.

🇵🇸❌🇮🇱- AlQassam forces published footage of their attacks on IDF vehicles in the Shaburah camp, central Rafah.

The munitions used were the commonly used and usual PG7-VR tandem charge, which is the most mass-manufactured and efficient RPG munition in their arsenal. 2 Merkava 4 (Mk.4) tanks and 3 EITAN APC's were targeted, This is interesting due to the fact that the EITAN's have been rarely seen in combat in Gaza, and were mostly focused for logistic and transportation use, this is the first documentation of an attack on it.

The location of the shots on the Merkava 4 (Mk.4) were unclear, However all 3 EITAN's were targeted from the rear of the side (where the personnel crew is located).
