The Israel Defense Forces said Sunday that troops have discovered more than 800 tunnel shafts in the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the ground offensive targeting the Hamas terror group that began in late October.
The military said that around 500 of them have already been destroyed, either by setting off large explosive charges inside or by sealing them.
According to the IDF, many of the tunnels connect Hamas’s “strategic assets.”
The military said it has also destroyed hundreds of kilometers’ worth of tunnels, in addition to the shafts.
“The shafts were located in civilian areas, and many of them were located near or inside educational institutions, kindergartens, mosques, and playgrounds,” the IDF said.
