From the Times of Israel: The army has uncovered an unusually large tunnel on the Gaza-Egypt border area, big enough for vehicles to pass through, the Israel Defense Force said Sunday.
According to the military, the tunnel was around three meters (10 feet) tall.
It was located along the so-called Philadelphi Route last week, as part of efforts to uncover all of Hamas’s arms-smuggling routes in the area.
The tunnel was being investigated by combat engineers before it was to be demolished, the military said.
The IDF announced in a social meia post: “EXPOSED: 3-Meter-High Terrorist Tunnel in the Area of the Philadelphi Corridor: In recent operational activity, IDF troops eliminated dozens of tunnel routes in the area of the Philadelphi Corridor, and continue to locate additional ones. A three-meter-high tunnel was uncovered in the area at the beginning of last week.”

“The Egyptian army has been selling Hamas the American ammunition donated to the Egyptian army. Egypt generals and Sisi’s son have been involved in the smuggling. As long as Hamas stays in power, Egypt would continue to profit as a mediator. Win win situation for Egypt at the expense of Gaza continues tragedy, wrote, Mosab Hassan Yousef.
