IDF: 20 more tunnels of kind used in deadly morning raid

The IDF fears there are 20 more tunnels of the kind used in this morning’s deadly attack on an IDF patrol, which killed two soldiers, and has widened the search for them.

Materiel found after the attack, including handcuffs and bottles containing sedatives, indicates that Hamas planned to kill and kidnap soldiers and/or civilians and take them back to Gaza.

Thirty-four tunnel openings have been found since the ground operation began, many of them dug under the border with Israel.

The army has bolstered its deployment of troops on the Israeli side of the Gaza border to guard against future such attacks.
