[Jpost] The Israeli army destroyed a Hamas tunnel which infiltrated into Israeli territory overnight Sunday, IDF Spokesperson Brig.-Gen. Ronen Manelis stated.Calling it a "significant tunnel," Manelis stated that Hamas began building it following the end of Operation Protective Edge in 2014 and that "the tunnel was ready for use."
It was the fifth cross-border tunnel to be found and destroyed by the Israeli army in recent months and the first to be found in the northern area of the Hamas-run enclave. Several other underground targets have also been destroyed inside in the Strip.
In February, the army destroyed one tunnel near Gaza's destroyed airport located east of Rafah in the southern part of the Strip close to the Israeli border and another one in the Zeitun neighborhood of Gaza City which was dug toward Israeli territory.
