The Israel Defense Forces said Friday that it uncovered a tunnel from Gaza to Israel meant for carrying out terror or kidnapping attacks, Times of Israel reports.

Hamas claimed the tunnel was old.

The tunnel reached civilian communities in Israel, according to IDF officials. It was also the largest yet discovered. IDF is still investigating the tunnel.

The army official said a generator and other tools had been found in the tunnel, attesting to the fact that work had been done on it recently.

Preempting the IDF announcement, Hamas Thursday night had said the IDF had found an “old” tunnel already blown up by the army that the terror group had begun to repair. At a press conference, the group’s Izz a-Din al-Qassam Brigades military wing said a winter storm had exposed the tunnel and not the IDF. […]

The army has accused Hamas of digging “terror tunnels” out of Gaza in the past, including three discovered in 2013.
