On May 29, the Israeli army said they destroyed a tunnel created by the Hamas terrorist group in the Gaza strip area that went through Egyptian and Israeli territory.
Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said they discovered the passage still in its construction phase near the Kerem Shalom Crossing, through which humanitarian aid is transferred to Gaza residents.
