On Tuesday, the IDF announced that it had uncovered a “terror tunnel” dug from the Gaza Strip that ran dozens of meters into Israeli territory. Military engineers located the concrete-lined tunnel near the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis. “The route [of the tunnel] was located as part of the ongoing efforts to find and neutralize tunnels and thanks to the technological and [intelligence] collection capabilities of the barrier,” the IDF said in a statement. The tunnel did not cross the underground barrier and did not pose a threat to communities in the area. “The IDF is determined to defend Israel’s sovereignty and the security of its citizens and will continue to act against terror – above and below B”H IN OUR ST SEASON! ground – in every area where it may be required,” the military said. Defense Minister Benny Gantz said, “Even on days when the south appears to be quiet, beneath the surface, terrorist organizations continue their efforts to harm Israeli citizens and our sovereignty.” The IDF has placed responsibility on the terror tunnels on the Hamas terror group that rules the Gaza Strip. “The discovery of the tunnel is evidence of the IDF’s intelligence and technological abilities, which will continue to act against threats and undermine terrorist organizations at the time and place that we decide, Gantz added.” Last week, Channel 12 reported that Israel and Hamas had reached a truce agreement mediated by Qatar that will see quiet on the southern border for a period of six months. As part of the agreement, Qatar will transfer $100 million to Hamas in a deal coordinated with Doha by Mossad head Yossi Cohen, alongside the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), according to the report.

Alaska’s Tsunami
A magnitude 7.5 earthquake that struck near Sand Point, Alaska, generated a tsunami this week, which sent two waves more than 1.5 feet high. A tsunami warning had been issued after the earthquake struck but was downgraded to an advisory Monday afternoon. The advisory was for the Alaska Peninsula and South Alaska, according to the tsunami warning center in Palmer, Alaska. The earthquake’s epicenter was recorded less than 60 miles from Sand Point, near the Aleutian Peninsula in the southwestern part of the state. “We did feel it,” Sand Point Clinic employee Lorna Osterback said of the quake. “This is a big one.” Residents drove to higher ground after being given evacuation orders. Several aftershocks, including one with a magnitude of 5.9 and one that was 5.8, struck in the hour after the big quake.
