Video: IDF Forces Expose Tunnel, Destroy Booby Trapped Building

Videos give an inside glimpse to the IDF's search-and-destroy process in Gaza.


The IDF released several videos documenting its progress in Gaza on Saturday night, including destroying tunnels, demolishing booby-trapped buildings.

In one video, an IDF commander explains the process of destroying a Hamas terror tunnel buried deep within the earth - at least seven meters (roughly 22 ft.) - and demonstrating the coordination between special forces units and the Engineering Corps.



Another video shows the dark confines of a Hamas terror tunnel in Gaza up close.




A third video shows aerial footage of the IAF striking a terror tunnel from above.




As Operation Protective Edge enters its twenty-seventh day Sunday, one senior IDF official told Arutz Sheva that the mission to destroy terror tunnels is "almost complete."

Earlier, on Saturday night, the IDF reportedly began pulling some of its forces out of Gaza, although both Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon vowed to finish the operation targets before leaving Gaza completely.
