The Israel Defense Forces said they discovered nearly 700 tunnel shafts in Rafah, with some crossing into Egypt.
Israeli Deputy Attorney General Gilad Noam explained the findings at the International Court of Justice.
“Rafah, in particular, is a focal point for ongoing terrorist activity. It is a stronghold for Hamas’ operators with several battalions belonging to the Rafah brigades entrenched in the area,” he said, according to The Daily Wire.
“Also present in Rafah,” said Noam, “is an intricate underground tunnel infrastructure that runs underneath the city and provides ample space for operators, command and control rooms, and military equipment.”
