Israeli combat engineers destroyed over 1.5 miles of the tunnel network to eliminate the threat.


The video below shows the detonation and footage taken inside the passageway before it was destroyed.

In coordination with the IDF, a shipment of 200 tons of food was delivered to Gaza on Saturday and is being readied for distribution by the NGO World Central Kitchen.
