The IDF says it has demolished a Hamas tunnel in the central Gaza Strip that was located just one and a half kilometers from the Israeli border.
The tunnel, found by reservists of the 646th Brigade and combat engineers of the elite Yahalom unit, connects north and southern Gaza, according to the IDF.
The IDF says the tunnel is one kilometer long, 20 meters deep, and was built around 1.5 kilometers from the border.
It was later destroyed by combat engineers.
During the operation, the 646th Brigade also located rockets, anti-aircraft missiles and other military equipment used by Hamas.
