The IDF has leveled a mile-long section of one of the largest known Hamas tunnel networks snaking beneath the Gaza Strip, officials said.
The IDF has levelled a 1.6km stretch of one of the largest known Hamas tunnel networks snaking beneath the Gaza Strip, officials have claimed.
Dramatic video shows the moment the trigger is pulled, causing a mile-long plume of smoke to erupt out of the ground as the tunnel system caves in. The complete 7.5-mile-long tunnel system dwarfs the previous largest tunnel discovered in December near the Erez Crossing, which measured at about 2.5 miles.
It remains unclear how long it would take the IDF to completely demolish and seal off the 7.5-mile-long tunnel in central Gaza.
