‘Longest ever Gaza tunnel’ extended 700 metres into Israel, according to IDF

Following days of searching, the army found the tunnel followed a single route, with few extending branches; it varied in depth from eight to 20 metres.

In the last six months, the IDF has uncovered three tunnels extending into Israel – mostly relying on bad weather to help them in their searches. But according to an engineering officer, they are now working on more advanced technology to help them locate.

An IDF spokesperson said the army was making “every effort to locate these infernal tunnels. We’ll continue this activity until we locate and destroy every last one.”
