Palestinians wait to cross the main passage point for goods entering Gaza after it was の近くにd by イスラエル に引き続いて the 発見 of 密輸するing tunnels underneath, in the southern Gaza (土地などの)細長い一片 town of Rafat on January 14, 2018

イスラエル said Sunday it used a combination of 空気/公表する strikes and other means to destroy a tunnel stretching from the Gaza (土地などの)細長い一片 into the country and continuing into Egypt.

Israeli 軍の 広報担当者 Jonathan Conricus said the tunnel belonged to Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas, which runs the Gaza (土地などの)細長い一片, and was ーするつもりであるd for attacks as …に反対するd to 密輸するing.

Such tunnels have been used to carry out attacks in the past.

He said he was not aware of any 死傷者s from the 破壊 of the tunnel, which was still 存在 built.

It ran underneath the main goods crossing between イスラエル and the 封鎖d Gaza (土地などの)細長い一片 -- known as Kerem Shalom -- 同様に as gas and 燃料 pipelines, he said. The crossing was to remain の近くにd until その上の notice.

によれば Conricus, Israeli 空気/公表する strikes late Saturday along with other 明示していない means were used to destroy the tunnel.

The strikes occurred within the Gaza (土地などの)細長い一片, while その上の means were used in Israeli 領土.

The tunnel began east of the city of Rafah in the Gaza (土地などの)細長い一片, crossed into イスラエル some 180 metres, then continued into Egypt for an 明示していない length, with no 出口 point (悪事,秘密などを)発見するd, he said.

Conricus said イスラエル had 連係させた with Egypt on the 操作/手術.

The tunnel stretched a total length of around a kilometre and a half, he said.

Defence 大臣 Avigdor Lieberman said: "Destroying the 網状組織 of 不快な/攻撃 tunnels is an 必須の 構成要素 in our 政策 of systematically 損失ing the 戦略の abilities of Hamas."

"The message to the Gaza leadership and 居住(者)s is (疑いを)晴らす -- 投資する in life and not burial tunnels," Lieberman said in a 声明.

Hamas had not commented on the Israeli 操作/手術.

イスラエル says it has been developing a new method to identify and destroy such tunnels, though it does not comment on 詳細(に述べる)s.

It is also building an 地下組織の 塀で囲む in the area around the Gaza (土地などの)細長い一片 to stop such tunnels.

The 最新の tunnel was at least the third destroyed since late October by イスラエル -- some Israeli マスコミ 報告(する)/憶測s say a fourth was also destroyed recently -- but it comes at a 特に 極度の慎重さを要する time.

緊張s between Palestinians and イスラエル have been high since US 大統領 Donald Trump's 承認 of Jerusalem as イスラエル's 資本/首都 on December 6.

不安 has 含むd ロケット/急騰するs 存在 解雇する/砲火/射撃d from the Gaza (土地などの)細長い一片 into イスラエル, with イスラエル's 軍の 答える/応じるing with 空気/公表する strikes.

ロケット/急騰する 解雇する/砲火/射撃 is often (人命などを)奪う,主張するd by fringe Islamic 過激な groups in the Gaza (土地などの)細長い一片, but イスラエル 持つ/拘留するs Hamas 責任がある all such 行為/法令/行動するs.

Conricus said Sunday イスラエル was defending its 主権,独立 with the 破壊 of the tunnel and was not 捜し出すing an escalation .

On October 30, an Israeli 操作/手術 to 爆発する an Islamic Jihad tunnel stretching from the Gaza (土地などの)細長い一片 into its 領土 left 12 Palestinian 交戦的なs dead.

イスラエル is 持つ/拘留するing the 団体/死体s of five of the 交戦的なs.

Hamas and イスラエル have fought three wars since 2008, and the last 衝突 in 2014 was 行うd in part over tunnels from Gaza that were used to 開始する,打ち上げる attacks.

Egypt has also destroyed 密輸するing tunnels stretching from the Gaza (土地などの)細長い一片 into its 領土.
