Defense minister says tunnel threat could be gone in ‘months’
Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman says he “hopes in the coming months, the tunnel threat to the citizens of the Gaza periphery will become a thing of the past.”
He speaks after the army announces it destroyed over the weekend another attack tunnel coming from the southern Gaza Strip that entered Israeli territory.
The defense minister hails Israel’s new technologies to detect the cross-border passages dug by Hamas.
The tunnels “are a threat we will not abide and we will invest all resources to thwart it,” he says.
