Israel’s military says it has uncovered and “neutralised” a tunnel extending from the Gaza Strip several hundred metres inside Israeli territory.
A statement said the tunnel had been constructed by the Palestinian militant group Hamas “in order to infiltrate Israel and execute terror attacks”.
Hamas, which dominates Gaza, said Israel had found an “old” tunnel.
It is the first such tunnel to be found since the devastating war between Israel and militants in Gaza in 2014.
