- The IDF claims that this enormous tunnel is the biggest Hamas tunnel ever found. “The Times of Israel” states that it is located close to the Erez border crossing. The tunnel, which was discovered by the IDF on Sunday, is about 164 feet down and, at its longest points, 2.5 miles long. It looks large enough to accommodate car travel.
- A shaft of the tunnel was located merely 437 yards from the Erez border crossing. “The Times of Israel”, referring to statements from the IDF, reported that over the past few weeks, the elite “Yahalom” Combat Engineering Corps and the Northern Brigade of the Gaza Division have used advanced intelligence and technological resources to identify this “strategic” tunnel network. The shafts were reportedly searched and cleared of potential threats.
- “In the Gaza Strip, this is the largest tunnel we have found. According to Reuters, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, an IDF spokesman, “it was planned to attack the Erez border crossing.” He did not say whether or not Hamas used this tunnel in its October 7 strike. “Building this tunnel took years and millions of dollars, making it a substantial investment. It is constructed so that cars can pass through,” he continued.
- Hagari reportedly showed journalists a tape on which Mohammed Sinwar, the brother of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, is purportedly seen driving through a tunnel.
