Israel’s military has uncovered an unusually large Hamas tunnel close to the Gaza-Egypt border that is big enough for a truck to drive through.

The IDF said the three-metre-high tunnel along the so-called Philadelphia Corridor was being investigated and would later be destroyed along with other “large-scale routes” that were found. 

Footage showed the huge concrete-fortified underpass less than 100 metres from the border fence, with a combat vehicle easily passing through its high walls.

Since the beginning of Israel’s ground offensive, its forces have been working to locate and blow up Hamas’s vast tunnel network that spreads for miles beneath the Gaza Strip, where scores of terrorists are still believed to be hiding.
