On the 195th day of the Israeli war on Gaza, the Resistance has announced that it detonated “two rigged tunnel openings” in Al-Mughraqa.
Al-Mughraqa is a small town located six kilometers southwest of Gaza City, at the outskirts of the Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip.
The name is a slang derivation of the Arabic word ‘gharaqa’, which means to drown or to be flooded. The reason behind the name al-Mughraqa is that the small residential area exists around the Gaza Valley, where water levels often rise in the winter, flooding the nearby homes and streets.
For days, Israel has been attacking Nuseirat through the Al-Mughraqa area, and yet, every time, the Israeli army was pushed back by the Palestinian Resistance, which knows the topography of the region too well.
