In a recent operation in the northern Gaza Strip, a kilometer-long Hamas attack tunnel in the Beit Lahiya area was demolished by combat engineers, the IDF says.

The IDF says the tunnel began in a residential neighborhood of Beit Lahiya.

In the underground route, troops found weapons including anti-tank missiles, and infrastructure that would allow terror operatives to reside in the tunnel for long periods, the military says.

In a separate operation in the nearby town of Beit Hanoun, troops of the Kfir Brigade’s Netzah Yehuda battalion raided sites used by Hamas, and destroyed anti-tank launching posts, booby-trapped buildings, and other infrastructure used by the terror group, the IDF says.
