An Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldier was wounded when a large tunnel packed by Hamas with explosives blew up at the Israel-Gaza border Nov. 8, the Associated Press reported.
IDF Lt. Col. Avital Leibovich said the tunnel, one of the largest Israel has seen in years, most likely represented a platform to either kill or kidnap Israeli soldiers.
“We definitely view it as a very severe event” she said. “The amount of explosives was very big. A kidnapping attempt is a possibility. Killing soldiers is a possibility.”
Hamas claimed responsibility for the attack on its website, describing the explosion as being caused by a roadside bomb. The blast also launched an Israeli military vehicle about 65 feet away.
