The IDF revealed on Monday that its forces uncovered and neutralized an attack tunnel dug by the Hamas terror organization from the northern Gaza Strip into Israel.
The tunnel, which had two separate routes, was dug dozens of meters underground from Gaza City and would have reached Kibbutz Alumim inside Israel if it was completed. Over the weekend, the IDF carried out an operation of rendering the tunnel unusable by injecting sealing materials inside it.
The IDF neutralized the tunnel before it crossed the new underground sensory barrier, which was completed in December 2021.
The outgoing commander of the Gaza Division, Brig.-Gen. Nimrod Aloni, said: “Gaza Division forces have been operating in past weeks to destroy a terrorist tunnel of the Hamas organization. It is an attack tunnel with two routes that crossed into Israeli territory but did not cross the area of the new underground sensory barrier, and therefore did not at any stage pose a risk to the residents of Israel.”
“This is a tunnel route that was attacked during Operation Guardian of the Walls thanks to the indication of its presence in the area by the new sensory barrier. We recently identified efforts to restore the route of the old tunnel, and after an evaluation of the area, we located the tunnel with the two branches.”
“The thwarting of the tunnel joins a long line of overt and covert operations which led to severe damage to Hamas’s raid tunnels project and we will continue to pursue them,” Aloni asserted.

What a Hog wash.
Israel government gives millions upon millions to the terrorists, PA and have them sit as partners in security positions of Israeli government bodies. They pledged alliance to PA and foreign causes to harm Jews and the land and they say it loud and publicly.
The question is why is Bennet, left, Russian Mafia, politicians are allowed to get away with this.
The answer is money- the Israelis give money to their terrorists buddies and the Supreme Court release terrorists and in turn they get massive subsidies to build Iron Dome and sensors in the ground and the perpetual money keep changing hand keeps the power in the hand of government Arab elites and sew fear in the population to keep the cycle going.
why didn’t they blow it up? so many houses might collapse? so what! If the terrorists don’t care about their own people, should we?
