IDF: Destruction of an Attack Tunnel in the Area of the Central Gaza Corridor
In recent weeks, the 16th Brigade has been operating in the Central Gaza Strip Corridor under the command of the 252nd Division. So far, the troops eliminated dozens of terrorists and dismantled hundreds of terrorist infrastructure.
The Engineering Unit of the Southern Command, the Yahalom Unit, and the brigade’s troops located, investigated and destroyed an attack tunnel approximately 3 kilometers long.
In the 2014 Operation “Protective Edge”, part of the tunnel route was destroyed. Over the years, Hamas has attempted to restore and to make the tunnel route operational. The tunnel that was destroyed at this time did not cross the border.
