The IDF says it has located a short tunnel near a hospital in the West Bank city of Tulkarem, amid an ongoing counter-terrorism operation.
The tunnel had an entrance but no exit, the military says, indicating that it was still under construction.
The IDF says troops will investigate the tunnel and then destroy it.
The military resumed its major operation in the northern West Bank on Tuesday after a lull of a few days. The operation, dubbed “Summer Camps,” was launched on August 28.
Since the operation resumed, the IDF says it has killed 10 gunmen in clashes and drone strikes.
