IDF Rules Out Tunnel Network After Searching Qalqilya Shafts

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced on Tuesday that following an investigation of shafts discovered in Qalqilya, the presence of a tunnel network was ruled out. The IDF had previously reported the discovery of these shafts, which raised concerns about potential underground infrastructure.

Initial assessments and subsequent searches conducted by military engineers have concluded that the shafts do not lead to or form part of a tunnel system. This development brings closure to the immediate concern regarding the Qalqilya shafts, with the military confirming no such threat exists at this location.
