IDF Forces Uncover Two Tunnels in Rafah

On (January 4, 2003), IDF forces uncovered two tunnels along the Israeli-Egyptian border, near the Kerem-Shalom Crossing.

The first tunnel, 9 meters underground, was discovered in the center of a road used for the passage of IDF vehicles. It appears the tunnel was filled with explosives in order to strike at vehicles traveling along the road.

The second tunnel, dug 6 meters under the ground, was located under two abandoned buildings in the area.
