The Yahalom special Combat Engineering unit and the Gaza Division of the IDF identified and neutralized a terrorist tunnel belonging to the Hamas terror organization.

News of the tunnel came just a week after the IDF completed Operation Breaking Dawn against Islamic Jihad. The army refrained from attacking Hamas targets during the operation.

The tunnel had been under development for “a long time” and that work on it was ongoing in recent days, outgoing commander of the Gaza Division Brig.-Gen. Nimrod Aloni told reporters.
