A Hamas tunnel system running for at least 1km under Gaza has been destroyed, according to the Israeli military.
Footage was released on Sunday from inside the tunnel, which the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said ran near residential buildings and contained several rooms and equipment used by Hamas members for prolonged stays.
The video showed the entrance and interior of a concrete-lined passage wide enough for one person. It led down a steep staircase and passed through what looked like a metal blast door.
It then showed Israeli soldiers carrying what appeared to be explosive charges and wires for demolition in a segment captioned: “Engineering operations of the 252nd Division”.
An aerial shot showed simultaneous explosions rising from the earth in a line presumably showing the route of the tunnel below ground.
