The Israeli military on Friday said that the uncovered tunnel, which was later destroyed, was used for storage, hideouts, command and control and movement of Hamas operatives between different areas. Earlier, Israeli troops had uncovered Hamas' largest tunnel so far near the Erez crossing.
On the previous day, Israeli forces attacked and killed Hamas official Muhsin Abu Zina, who was allegedly responsible for the group's weapons production. The Israeli military has claimed to have killed several militants in their operations, but Hamas denied that they are making big gains in Gaza.
The 192-km long Jammu IB, out of the total 2,289-km long front running down towards Punjab, Rajasthan and Gujarat, dug tunnels due to the loose soil structure of the area and the BSF, which is mandated to guard this front, has detected almost ten such structures over the last decade.
