Army finds 'new Hamas tunnel' reaching into Israel from Gaza

Tunnels were a key weapon for Hamas during the last conflict in 2014, with a number of surprise attacks inside Israeli territory

Israeli forces uncovered a Hamas tunnel stretching across the border from Gaza on Thursday, the army said, the second such discovery in recent weeks. "About four hours ago the IDF exposed a second tunnel in the southern Gaza Strip," army spokesman Peter Lerner said. He said the tunnel was around 30 metres (100 feet) underground and stretched from the Palestinian enclave into Israeli territory, though he did not say how far.
