A 3.5-kilometer-long Hamas tunnel in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis was recently demolished, the IDF announces.
The IDF says the tunnel was located by troops of the Kfir Infantry Brigade and the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit during operations in the south of Khan Younis.
The tunnel connected to other underground passages and also featured several rooms used by Hamas operatives as living quarters, according to the military.
The IDF says the Kfir troops also located weapons and destroyed a facility used to store explosive devices.
