On Sunday, two football teams that were exiled from cities in war-battered eastern Ukraine will play each other in the safer western part of the country with the league title at stake. Shakhtar Donetsk, the Ukrainian Premier League leaders, and second-place Dnipro-1 will face off at Arena Lviv in a match that could be decisive in a football season that is finishing on schedule despite the ongoing war. The stadium was one of four in Ukraine, including Shakhtar’s home in Donetsk, secure enough in 2012 from Russian aggression to co-host that year’s European Championships with Poland. Shakhtar leads by five points and needs just a draw this weekend to secure the title ahead of the last scheduled round on June 4. Despite the ongoing conflict, the football season continues with the blessing of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a bid to help keep some normalcy in daily life.

Hamas Tunnel City: Gaza’s Hidden Frontline for Israel | TOME
JERUSALEM/LONDON: What lies in wait for Israeli ground troops in Gaza, security sources say, is a Hamas tunnel network hundreds of kilometers long and up to 80 meters deep, described by one freed hostage as “a spider’s web” and by one expert as the “Viet Cong times 10.”
The Palestinian Islamist group has different kinds of tunnels running beneath the sandy 360-sq-km coastal strip and its borders — including attack, smuggling, storage and operational burrows, Western and Middle East sources familiar with the matter said.
