The terrorist tunnel located yesterday on the Gaza Strip border was erected by Hamas for offensive purposes.

The tunnel penetrated tens of meters into Israeli territory, and it crossed the fence in the Khan Yunis area in the southern Gaza Strip.

Although the responsibility was placed directly on Hamas, as in any offensive activity leaving the Gaza Strip, it was only as the investigation progressed that it was discovered that it had indeed been excavated by the organization.

Yesterday, IDF engineering forces uncovered the route, which was discovered during the construction of the underground barrier on the Gaza Strip border. According to the IDF, the offensive tunnel was built of concrete, but does not cross the barrier on the border with Israel.

Sources in the Southern Command, who were at the border at the time of the tunnel exposure activity, noted that "this is one of the deepest tunnels located at the border."
