Israeli Army Destroys 'Longest Ever' Hamas Attack Tunnel Crossing From Gaza Into Israel

The tunnel was located near the site of weekly protests near the Gaza border. The military suspects it was part of a wider network.
The tunnel was located in the north of the Strip, near a site along the Israel-Gaza border where Palestinians have been protesting for the past few weeks. The Israel Defense Forces had been aware of the tunnel and decided to destroy it based on operational considerations. The military feared that Hamas would use it to carry out terror attacks in Israel under the cover of the protests. The tunnel was destroyed by pumping materials into it that render it useless and do not allow for its reconstruction. This is the fifth tunnel crossing into Israel that the IDF has destroyed in recent months, and the eighth altogether.
