,1,Since 2007, Hamas has built over 1,300 tunnels in Gaza, some reaching depths of 30-40 meters, to protect their elements and conceal rocket batteries. Following the latest attack by Hamas, Israel is now focusing on dismantling Gaza's expansive tunnel network before initiating a ground operation.
Israel has sought to neutralize Hamas-built tunnels in Gaza through methods like combat engineering and an underground border wall. In the 2008–2009 Gaza War, it allegedly deployed the GBU-28 bunker-buster bomb, which uses simple physics to penetrate 100 feet of earth with its 4,637-pound frame and 630 pounds of high explosives. Guided by lasers and equipped with smart fuzes to detonate post-penetration, the GBU-28 inflicts massive damage on targets and surroundings. Israel, having reportedly requested the advanced GBU-72 bomb from the US in 2021, potentially utilizes it in campaigns despite unconfirmed acquisition, leveraging its enhanced fuse system and capacity to induce wider-range subterranean destruction.

,1,If the power crisis in Venezuela has taught us anything, it is the fact that the modern world is not ready for long term power outages. We now depend on electricity more than ever and it has become such an integral part of our day-to-day lives whether we like it or not. Which makes you wonder what would happen if the power went out all over the world for a long period of time.
Electromagnetic pulses, also known as EMPs, have the ability to kill any electronic device in the near vicinity of where the event occurred. If a strong enough EMP weapon went off, it could potentially kill most of the electronic devices on earth. In this episode of Imagine That we are going to take a look at how such an event may play out.
In the 2019 Venezuelan Blackout, the lack of electricity for an extended period of time resulted in total chaos with hospitals losing patients in a matter of hours, streets getting overrun by pedestrians and stores getting looted. People started fighting over the limited supplies that were left and public unrest was high. We suspect something similar might happen if such an event occurred on a global scale.

,1,Did you know that there are more than 320,000 viruses that can infect mammals? One of the most talked-about viruses nowadays is SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19, but it is not the deadliest. There are other even more lethal viruses that are the stuff of nightmares.
This might leave you wondering where these viruses come from and how they can kill you. In our video, we explore all these questions and bring you a specific list of the deadliest viruses. The candidates on that list may surprise you.
For instance, rabies is one of the most dangerous viruses around. The virus causes about 56,000 deaths per year in more than 95 percent of Africa and Asia.
It is mostly transmitted from domestic dogs, but bats and rats also play a minor role. One bite from an infected animal can result in inflammation of the brain, nausea, vomiting, violent movements, and even a fear of water.
By then, it’s too late for the infected individual, and death typically occurs after a few days due to cardio-respiratory arrest.
Rabies is only one of the most lethal viruses on Earth right now. If you're curious about our other picks and how they affect humans, watch our video to find out more.

,1,After a long day, you are finally at your favorite restaurant and you order the burger you have been dreaming of the whole time. The burger is gone within minutes, or seconds depending on your appetite. You call the waiter to send compliments to the chef for that delicious burger but are surprised to learn that your burger’s meat has been grown in a laboratory. How would you feel about eating lab-grown meat? Would you even care or does this scenario not make sense because you would have understood in the first bite that you are not eating “real meat”? What is lab-grown meat, anyway?
Lab-grown meat is made from animal cells, so technically, it is real meat. We can even say that cultured meat is more genuine than a plant-based one. When you consider the rapidly growing world population, resources spent on breeding the animals don’t seem sustainable in the long run at all. With all things considered, lab-grown meat might be the safest and most sustainable option for our future and might become a big part of our lives. In fact, even now, world-leading scientists and entrepreneurs are investing in lab-grown meat research to make it both affordable and delicious.
Even though it may feel a little unconventional at first, laboratory-grown meat can be the key to sustainability and meeting the meat demand without disturbing the natural balance. If you are skeptical about meat made in the laboratory and want to know how lab-grown meat is made, this video can answer all your questions!
