Israeli forces use sapper vehicles to search for tunnels near Gaza

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Sunday evening started to make a sweep along the perimeter fence east of the Gaza Strip using specially-equipped vehicles in order to look for any underground tunnels that might have been dug by the Palestinian resistance.The search campaign took place after the IOF found a tunnel extending from Gaza to an Israeli settlement in the 1948 occupied land.The IOF claimed that the tunnel was intended for carrying out a commando attack in the settlement.A field ranger from the resistance told Quds Press that three Israeli vehicles from the military engineering unit equipped with radars were sweeping the eastern borderline of Gaza. He said he noticed that those vehicles were slowly moving and stopping when suspecting something, especially in rugged and bushy areas./149
