Gaza tunnel was for high-profile attack
A tunnel leading from under the Gaza Strip into Israeli territory, discovered by the IDF last week, was to be used at a future date by Hamas to carry out a terror attack or kidnapping.
The exit point of the 1,800m tunnel is near Kibbutz Ein Hashlosha.
According to Israeli intelligence, it was almost certainly excavated by Hamas and took over 18 months to complete.
The tunnel, which in parts was as deep as 22m, was paved throughout with concrete slabs and included electricity and a telephone line.
