UN ambassadors tour Hamas tunnel in Gaza Strip

In depth

A delegation of dozens of UN ambassadors entered the Gaza Strip for the first time. During the tour, led by Ambassador Danny Danon, the delegation reached the depths of a Hamas tunnel. The tour included a visit to Kfar Aza and, afterward, entry into the Strip.

During the tour, Southern Command chief Maj. Gen. Yaniv Asher gave the delegation a briefing on terror infrastructure and the security challenges. Danon made clear that the terror organization continues to arm itself and called for preventing its return to control of the Strip.

The tour was the first visit by UN ambassadors to Gaza Strip territory, during which the participants toured a Hamas tunnel.
