IDF uncovers tunnel north of Netzarim settlement
Israel Defense Forces soldiers on Wednesday afternoon uncovered the entrance to a tunnel just north of Netzarim that the defense establishment believes Palestinians intended to use to infiltrate and carry out an attack in the central Gaza Strip settlement.

The tunnel was constructed at a depth of six meters and would have been 450-meters long when complete. It's opening was found near an abandoned, four-story Palestinian building north of Netzarim.

During the IDF operation, Palestinian militants fired anti-tank rockets at the troops. There were no casualties.

5. it might be an evil anti-semitic rumour
but I've heard that the IDF has considerably more weapons than every Palestinian resistance/terrorist group put together.

I was wondering can Apache helicopters be smuggled through these tunnels?
