zhroifs by israeli soldiers before going up in smoke. 50 access points have been discussed, an underground city in gaza. israel says it will take a week to destroy what they have found. >> gallagher, just this evening we are receiving word of nine more israeli soldiers killed. that brings to 52 the total number of israeli soldiers killed in this war. >> yes, it does. but this hasn't deterred the israeli extensively openly behind its government and army this evening. the israeli prime minister with his minister of defense and the lieutenant general, head of israel's army by his side announced that israel would not back down from its goal of destroying those tunnels used by palestinian militants to infiltrate the israeli borders. the prime minister insists that israel wants the de-mill tarization of gaza and warning that may take some time. you mentioned more than 50 dead in the ranks of the israeli army. however, at this point this does not seem to have any kind of a negative effect in terms of how the israeli public perceives this operation and the need to move forward. the message which was be

and in doing so, they're trying to destroy what they describe as an underground city of tunnels by whicho not only store weapons and launch rockets but also infiltrate into israel. and we have seen a few of the infiltration points on this side of the border and a number of soldiers have been killed in those engagements. so it is a real threat. now they're asking what does it take to get rid of this tunnel network and why does it for example involve shelling in very heavily populated areas, particularly where civilians are. when we see these staggering numbers, more than a thousand killed, many are asking about the precision of the israeli military in its operations going forward. so this is one of the controversies, but the idf insists that it is going to continue to be in gaza even if there is a cease fire in order to dismantle this tunnel network. so this is one of the main sticking points of any possibility of a truce. >> i wonder if you might be able to shed some light and give us some facts from what we heard earlier from george birnbaum, the former minister. he said any casualties

an extraordinary threat. because what the idf is describing is essentially a city, an underground city, where you have these massive tunnels and then branching out into numerous areas. i went to kibutz near om today where the infiltration occurred literally meters away from the perimeter fence. it is a significant threat. they say they're uncovering a lot of these tunnels but the fact is we don't know how many exactly there are out there and these tunnels have been used very effectively to pop up behind israeli lines and ambush israeli troops and this is where a lot of the casualties on the israeli side are coming from. >> just be careful over there, don't go too close to that border. those tunnels are potentially very, very deadly. atika shubert. be careful. she's on the front lines for us, between israel and gaza. another major story we're following right now. we'll have more on israel and gaza later. we're also following the downing of that itmalaysian jet liner i eastern ukraine. a scene many are still describing as chaotic. that team has begun conducting dna tests to help identify victims. the pro-russian rebe

and it's been described to me as a -- an underground city, underneath gaza, that stretches sometimessrael for infiltration. >> i know wolf blitzer had a chance to look at one of the tunnels. we'll talk about what he saw, how smalls, how complex, how long they are. atika shubert, thank you so much for joining me with word of the mortar attack on the israeli side. >>> live in washington, d.c., something you don't see very often. because at this event, you have susan rice, house speaker john boehner, they are in agreement of something. they are both showing their support from either side of the aisle, when it comes to israel. we'll take you there live. >>> plus, as i mentioned, wolf blitzer. he gets an inside look at the tunnels we were just discussings, these tunnels hamas militants are using to get in and out of israel. we'll talk to wolf, see what it was like, coming up. nineteen years ago, we thought, "wow, how is there no way to tell the good from the bad?" so we gave people the power of the review. and now angie's list is revolutionizing local service again. you can easily buy and
