IDF troops destroy 500-meter-long Hamas tunnel in Gaza

A 500-meter-long Hamas tunnel in northern Gaza’s Beit Hanoun was recently demolished by troops, the IDF says.
The military says the tunnel was located in recent days by reservists of the 646th Paratroopers Brigade, as part of efforts to uncover Hamas’s underground infrastructure in the area. Troops of the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit destroyed it.
