The Israeli Defense Forces said it discovered the largest Hamas tunnel yet Sunday in the far north of Gaza. The structure spans roughly 2.5 miles and is wide enough to drive a vehicle into.

The tunnel does not cross the northern border between Gaza, but stops some 400 meters from the now-closed Erez Crossing.
