The IDF will investigate a possible terror tunnel in the Gaza periphery, Channel 10 reports, amid complaints by residents of Kibbutz Nirim.

The residents of the Israeli community on the border of the coastal enclave hired a private company to evaluate the site, which concluded that a tunnel was being constructed underground, prompting the army inquiry, the report says.
