Soldiers are investigating and neutralizing discovered tunnel routes and have said that they will destroy all underground routes in the area.

The IDF located on Sunday dozens of underground Hamas tunnel routes in the area by the Philadelphi Corridor, including one that goes three meters high.

Soldiers are investigating and neutralizing discovered tunnel routes. They have said that they will destroy all underground routes in the area and work to prevent more of them from being constructed in the future.

The reports of the tunnels along the Philadelphi Corridor come more than a week after the IDF destroyed a kilometer-long tunnel in Beit Lahia in northern Gaza.

Other reports of discovered tunnels

Other reports of discovered tunnels last month include one that stored weapons underneath a children's bedroom, which was found by IDF combat teams of Battalion 932 in the 401st Brigade.
