A Hamas tunnel in northern Gaza’s Beit Hanoun, used in a deadly attack on troops during the 2014 Gaza War, was recently demolished, the military says.
In the incident on July 21, 2014, a cell of Hamas operatives emerged from a tunnel and exchanged fire with troops, killing Lt. Col. Dolev Keidar, 2nd Lt. Yuval Haiman, Warrant Officer Baynesain Kasahun, and Sgt. First Class Nadav Goldmacher.
The tunnel, which the military says was a kilometer long, was demolished by the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit during operations of the Kfir Brigade’s Netzah Yehuda Battalion in the Beit Hanoun area.
