Israeli security forces uncovered a 25-meter terror tunnel filled with heavy weapons and explosives in an East Jerusalem village, according to the Israel Police. The tunnel was dug from Palestinian territory toward Israeli civilian areas; no casualties were reported in the operation.
Israel Police and security forces uncovered a 25-meter-long terror tunnel filled with heavy weapons and explosives in a village in East Jerusalem, the police said Sunday afternoon. The shaft was dug from Palestinian territory toward Israeli civilian areas of the capital. The discovery follows a string of similar finds around Jerusalem in recent weeks — including a 25-meter tunnel near the A-Za'im crossing in late June that led to two arrests via forensic evidence, and a large weapons cache submerged in a water well in al-Jib that police said was intended for attacks. Sunday's find underscores the continued threat from subterranean infrastructure directed at Jerusalem from within the West Bank seam zone. Police sappers were working to secure and clear the tunnel; no additional details on arrests were immediately released.
