IDF officials on Monday 10 Nissan announced the uncovering of a major Hamas terror tunnel stretching from Gaza to the Israel side of the border.

Some of the military experts involved in the case explain that in all likelihood, the tunnel was constructed before the 2014 IDF assault in Gaza, Operation Protective Edge. It is added that perhaps the portion of the tunnel inside Israel is new but clearly, the tunnel that was found represents years of work.

Hamas reacted to the widespread news of the tunnel’s discovery including the IDF releasing video footage. Hamas officials in Gaza vow the tunnel uncovered was nothing more than a “drop in the bucket” as it continues preparing to arm itself for the next round of warfare against Israel.
