The IDF says it recently demolished a Hamas tunnel stretching two kilometers (1.2 miles) on the Israeli side of the Gaza ceasefire line in the Strip’s north.
The underground route, in the Beit Lahiya area, is described by the IDF as a Hamas attack tunnel.
Troops of the Gaza Division’s Northern Brigade, alongside the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit, located and razed the tunnel during ongoing operations on the IDF side of the ceasefire line, called the Yellow Line, the army says.
