Minister says Hamas tunnel threat will disappear

Interior minister Aryeh Deri says that residents of the south can be calm because the threat of Hamas attack tunnels will soon disappear.

Deri says the government has learned the lessons of the 2014 Gaza war and taken steps to remedy the shortcomings found in the state comptroller report on the issue released today.

Deri does not give details on how Israel will end the threat of the tunnels. It is currently believed that there are some 15 Hamas tunnels leading into Israel from the Strip
