– The Israeli military says it has discovered a new cross-border tunnel from the Gaza Strip that runs 40 miles, extending from the city of Khan Younis in southern Gaza into southern Israel. The military says the tunnel was discovered using underground sensors attached to a concrete barrier that is being built along the border, Reuters reports. The Israeli military says it will “neutralize” the tunnel in the coming days. The Israeli military says it holds Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip, “responsible for everything emanating from the Gaza Strip.”
