IDF destroys two-kilometer-long Gaza terror tunnel in Beit Lahiya

IDF soldiers destroyed a two-kilometer-long terrorist tunnel in northern Gaza as part of ongoing operations to dismantle Hamas infrastructure, the army said.

The IDF destroyed a two-kilometer-long terrorist tunnel in Beit Lahiya in the northern Gaza Strip, the army confirmed on Sunday.

Soldiers from the Northern Brigade of the Gaza Division, along with combat engineers from Yahalom, located and destroyed the tunnel as part of ongoing operations to eliminate terrorist infrastructure in the area.

The soldiers will continue their anti-terrorism operations in the region, the army added.

The development follows confirmation on Saturday that the army struck and destroyed a tunnel in northern Gaza that contained a loaded rocket launcher ready to fire on the southern Israeli town of Sderot.
