(Jerusalem) Israel destroyed a cross-border attack tunnel that ran from
Gaza into Israel and then into Egypt which had been dug by Hamas, the terrorist group that controls the
Palestinian enclave.
The IDF bombed an area east of the southern town of Rafah, by the Egyptian and Israeli borders, late on Saturday night. Israel confirmed the attack immediately after, but gave no details until Sunday. The red line in the tweet below illustrates the path of the tunnel.
