Israeli combat engineers located a tunnel in the central Gaza Strip today, the military says.

The 600-meter-long passage runs from the Israeli-controlled side of the Yellow Line into the Hamas-held part of the Strip, according to the IDF.

The discovery comes as part of the military’s efforts to clear the IDF-held portion of Gaza of all Hamas infrastructure.
