IDF troops just revealed an underground terror tunnel dug from Gaza into Israel

The Times of Israel adds:
The military on Monday uncovered a cross-border attack tunnel that entered Israeli territory from the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Strip, five years after the start of a 2014 operation aimed at finding and destroying such passages.

It was not immediately clear if the tunnel uncovered on Monday was newly dug or an older passage that had not yet been found by the IDF.

"At this time, IDF soldiers are conducting an investigation of the passage. More information will be provided shortly," the army said in a statement on Monday night.

A spokesperson for the Eshkol region, in which the tunnel was found, said the local government was in contact with the military about the matter.

"The tunnel does not represent a threat and it is being taken care of by the IDF," the regional council said in a message to residents.

The cross-border tunnel is the 18th discovered since the end of the 2014 war, according to Channel 12 news.
All sorts of interesting details about the construction at the link.
In addition to the underground barrier, the army also began construction earlier this year on a new metal fence, some six meters (26 feet) tall, as well as adding additional breakwaters on the coast around Gazoo and other protective measures in order to prevent infiltration into Israel from the sea, as occurred during the 2014 Gaza war.
