Netanyahu: Israel makes world-class breakthrough in locating tunnels
Netanyahu hails the discovery of the terror tunnel from Gaza into Israel and vows efforts will continue to uncover more.
“In recent days, the State of Israel has achieved a world-class breakthrough in the ability to locate tunnels,” he says. “The government is investing considerable capital in countering the tunnel threat. This is an ongoing effort that will not end overnight. We are investing in this and will continue to do so with determination.
“Israel will respond strongly to any attempt to attack its soldiers and civilians. I am certain that Hamas understands this very well. I would like to tell the residents of the area adjacent to the Gaza Strip: The IDF is working around the clock to ensure your security and daily routine.”
