This marks the first documented instance of Hamas using a coordinated multi-IED sequence specifically targeting rescue forces, demonstrating evolution in underground warfare tactics. The IDF's unprecedented acknowledgment of both 'above and below ground' operations in Beit Hanoun reveals a new dimension of urban warfare prophetically significant to 'those who go down to the stones' (Isaiah 14:19).

📰 What Happened
Five Israeli soldiers (ages 20-28) were killed and two severely wounded in northern Gaza by a sophisticated triple IED attack in Beit Hanoun. The incident occurred during Netanyahu's Washington visit with Trump to discuss ceasefire options in the 21-month conflict. Hamas spokesman Abu Obeida claimed the 'complex Beit Hanun operation' demonstrated their ongoing war of attrition strategy. IDF spokesman Effie Defrin confirmed forces are now surrounding Beit Hanoun 'above and below ground.'
📖 Prophetic Significance
The convergence of three key elements accelerates multiple prophecies: 1) Netanyahu's presence in Washington during the attack mirrors Zechariah 12's scenario of Jerusalem becoming a burden while leaders seek peace abroad, 2) The sophisticated underground network in Beit Hanoun fulfills Ezekiel 38:20's prophecy of 'every wall falling to the ground' through unconventional means, 3) Hamas's ability to sustain coordinated attacks after 21 months demonstrates the 'wearing down of the saints' predicted in Daniel 7:25. This combination suggests an unprecedented acceleration toward Zechariah 14's final Jerusalem conflict.
