IDF needs another week to deal with tunnels

The IDF has located more than 30 Hamas cross-border tunnels, military sources tell Channel 2.

Two-thirds of them have been dealt with, and the IDF believes it needs another week to deal with the rest of those found.

Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon indicated last week that it would only take two or three days to deal with most of the tunnels. But the work of demolishing the tunnels is proving harder than expected, military sources have said, especially given that it is being conducted under Hamas fire.
