The IDF stated that during an operation in Qalqilya, two shafts approximately 12 meters deep were located, and weapons were found near the shafts, including an M16 rifle, a hunting rifle, a handgun and ammunition, which were confiscated by the forces. An IDF spokesperson noted that "contrary to official and irresponsible announcements made on the matter, after investigating the shafts, the existence of a tunnel route in the shafts was ruled out and the proximity of the shaft to the seam zone was ruled out." This contradicts a police statement issued yesterday, according to which "a tunnel in the excavation stages at least 25 meters deep was uncovered in Qalqilya during an operation by police and Border Police."
IDF: 'Contrary to irresponsible reports – no tunnel found in Qalqilya'
