Israel uncovers ’biggest Hamas tunnel’ near Gaza border
이스라엘군, 가자 국경검문소 인근서 4㎞ 대형 터널 발견
Over in the Middle East.
The Israeli army says that it had discovered the biggest Hamas tunnel in the Gaza Strip so far.
In the meantime, a second border crossing into Gaza has opened for humanitarian aid.
Jeong Eun-joo has the latest.
The Israeli Defense Forces said Sunday it had discovered the biggest Hamas tunnel in the Gaza Strip so far.
The entrance to the tunnel is located a few hundred meters from the heavily fortified Erez Crossing and a nearby Israeli military base.
Israel’s chief military spokesperson Daniel Hagari put the full length of the tunnel at four kilometers.
The military noted that the tunnel ran diagonally downward to a depth of 50 meters, where it expanded to a relatively capacious 3 meters in height and width. It had electrical fixtures, and was connected to a sprawling tunnel network across Gaza.
The IDF said it would have cost millions of dollars and taken years to construct, adding that the project was led by the brother of the Hamas chief.
Disabling underground passages and bunkers is among the aims of the offensive Israel launched after Hamas’ October 7th attacks.
Meanwhile, a Palestinian border official confirmed that the Kerem Shalom Crossing between Israel and Gaza opened on Sunday for aid trucks to enter the Strip for the first time since the outbreak of war.
The move is intended to double the amount of food and medicine reaching the enclave.
The official said part of the aid had arrived in Gaza by Sunday night, while the rest would be there on Monday.
The Kerem Shalom Crossing had been closed after the October 7th attack by Hamas.
Since then, aid has been delivered solely through Gaza’s Rafah Crossing with Egypt, which Israel said could only accommodate the entry of 100 trucks per day.
Kerem Shalom, on the border of Egypt, Israel and Gaza, is one of the main transit points for goods in and out of the Palestinian enclave, allowing for much faster transit than the Rafah passenger crossing a few kilometers away.
Israel approved the entry of aid last week as the United Nations and other world bodies have been increasingly warning of the worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza.
