Border Police Discover and Seal Tunnel Entrance Near Givat Ze'ev
Border Police officers discovered and sealed a tunnel entrance disguised within an ancient water cistern near the West Bank separation barrier in the village of al-Jib, southwest of Ramallah. The discovery was made on Friday, August 28, in an area near the settlements of Givon and Givat Ze'ev.
According to a police statement, the forces completed the sealing of the tunnel entrance on Sunday evening. The tunnel's opening was concealed inside the historical water cistern, highlighting a sophisticated attempt at concealment.
This operation underscores ongoing efforts by Israeli security forces to detect and neutralize potential threats originating from tunnels along the separation barrier. The specific location near Givat Ze'ev, a settlement in the West Bank, indicates a focus on areas adjacent to Israeli communities.
