Terrorists Explode Tunnel Near Gaza Border
(Jerusalem Post) Yaakov Lappin - Terrorists in Gaza on Thursday blew up a massive tunnel they had dug toward Israel, the IDF said. Soldiers had entered Gaza following a string of bomb attacks in recent days including one on Tuesday that wounded three soldiers. The soldiers uncovered several bombs after crossing the border, some of them very powerful, IDF Spokesman Brig.-Gen. Yoav Mordechai said. "As soldiers worked to fix the fence in the area, the tunnel blew up under the [fence] route," Mordechai said. "It was a very large explosion, leaving a four- to five-meter crater." "It was a very big tunnel, the likes of which we haven't seen in a long time."
