A quarter of a mile from a civilian border crossing between Israel and northern Gaza lies what Israel's military says is the largest tunnel discovered in the enclave.
Israeli troops uncovered the tunnel exit buried under a sand dune a few weeks ago. Israeli officials believe that up to 50 meters deep at points, and 2½ miles long, it took years and millions of dollars to build, and was meant to facilitate a large-scale attack on Israel.
