The Israeli military has announced the destruction of 9.3 miles of a so-called terror tunnel network used by Hamas forces as part of its effort to degrade the ability of terror groups to launch strikes against Israel.

“Our fighter jets neutralized 9.3 miles of the Hamas ‘Metro’ terror tunnel system overnight. That’s 9.3 miles that can no longer be used for terror,” according to a statement on the official Twitter account of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on May 17.
