Before demolition, tunnels are mapped and then primed with explosives to collapse the tunnel. After detonation, concrete is pumped into the tunnel and the entrances are sealed with debris.
"IDF troops will continue to operate to remove any immediate threat," the IDF said.
This announcement comes just a few days after an IDF raid into Gaza with the support of anti-Hamas militias to capture a senior Hamas commander.
The success of the raid, and lack of Hamas response, suggest that efforts to reduce Hamas's capabilities in the Gaza Strip have been largely successful.
