The IDF has uncovered an unusually large tunnel on the Gaza-Egypt border area, big enough for vehicles to pass through.
According to the military, the tunnel is around 3 meters tall.
It was found along the so-called Philadelphi Route last week, as part of efforts to uncover all of Hamas’s smuggling weapon routes in the area.
The tunnel is being investigated by combat engineers before it will be demolished.
Dozens of tunnels have been found along the Philadelphi Corridor, including at least 25 that crossed into Egypt.
