The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) uncovered an attack tunnel leading from Gaza into Israel, IDF spokesman said, according to The Jerusalem Post.

The tunnel led from the southern Gaza Strip into Israel. It was discovered by an army force which was carrying out a number of operations near the border fence.

The IDF said on Tuesday, Jan 15, that the tunnel is a grave attempt to carry out a terrorist attack against Israeli civilians and security forces. The investigation into the tunnel continues.
