IDF Uncovers 3-Meter-Tall Smuggling Tunnel on Gaza-Egypt Border's Philadelphi Corridor
Aug 4, 2024, 01:16 PM
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have uncovered a massive tunnel on the Gaza-Egypt border, specifically along the Philadelphi Corridor. The tunnel, which is approximately 3 meters tall and large enough for vehicles to pass through, is part of a network used by Hamas for smuggling weapons. The discovery is part of ongoing IDF operations to locate and destroy such tunnels. Despite Egypt's claims of being unaware of these tunnels, the IDF has found dozens, including at least 25 that crossed into Egypt. The tunnels have been used for smuggling weapons, including rifles, rockets, and rocket launchers, into Gaza. This development underscores the strategic importance of the Philadelphi Corridor and the need for continued vigilance in the area. The tunnel network extends from Rafah into the Sinai Peninsula and was used in the October 7 Massacre.
