The IDF reveals another Hamas tunnel under the Gaza Strip’s main north-south

The IDF reveals another Hamas tunnel under the Gaza Strip’s main north-south highway, this time in Nuseirat.

Troops of the 646th Reserve Paratroopers Brigade, elite Yahalom combat engineering unit, and other combat engineers, discovered and destroyed what the IDF says is a “strategic” Hamas tunnel, located under Salah a-Din road.

The tunnel, which is hundreds of meters long and around nine meters deep, crosses Wadi Gaza, also known as Besor Stream, the IDF says.

The IDF says the tunnel was used by Hamas gunmen to travel between north and south Gaza undetected.

Following the detonation of the tunnel below Salah a-Din road, the IDF says it has opened a new alternative route in the area.
