A tunnel in northern Gaza’s Jabalia used by a Hamas cell in an attack that killed three soldiers in October was recently discovered and destroyed, the military says.

In the attack on October 10, three reserve soldiers of the 460th Brigade were killed by a roadside bomb.

The IDF says Givati soldiers located the tunnel shaft where the cell had been holed up, which connected to a 500-meter-long underground passage. Combat engineers then demolished the tunnel.
