The IDF says it recently demolished a "significant" Hamas tunnel near the Rafah Border Crossing in the southern Gaza Strip. According to the military, troops reached a tunnel shaft, some 100 meters from the border crossing with Egypt, following intelligence on its location. The shaft led to an underground network, about a kilometer and a half long, which the IDF says was used by Hamas operatives to attack troops operating in the area. Troops raided the tunnel, locating weapons, including anti-tank missiles, guns, and explosive devices, according to the military. The IDF says the network had many branching paths at different depths, and some areas were blocked with blast doors. It also featured rooms where Hamas operatives would reside, as well as bathrooms. The tunnel network was later demolished, the IDF adds.
