The Israel Defense Forces says it has struck an Islamic Jihad attack tunnel that was dug up to Israel’s security barrier with the Gaza Strip.

The IDF says the tunnel was established under the orders of Khaled Mansour, the former commander of the terror group in southern Gaza, until he was killed in an Israeli strike last August.

The IDF also releases footage of strikes against underground rocket launchers used by Islamic Jihad in attacks against Israel today, and an observation post on the Gaza coast.

The army says it is continuing to strike Islamic Jihad sites across Gaza at this hour.
