Israel introduced the technology to locate tunnels

Israel's Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) has introduced a technology-related laboratory to locate the tunnels after the military announced the longest and deepest tunnel of the Hamas Islamic Movement from the Gaza Strip to Israel.

In a statement issued by the Israeli military on April 15, a technology laboratory was tasked to detect and locate a tunnel that had been established two years ago to prevent or disable the tunnels of the movement. Islamic Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

At present, the lab is also researching and refining existing technologies and striving to develop new mapping and detection technologies that address specific challenges.

To detect tunnels, laboratory workers need to work closely with intelligence, technical forces, and other units in the field until the tunnel location is determined. According to the Israeli military, the combination of human and intelligence and technology has brought about rapid results.

By the end of 2019, IDF will launch a program of installation of sensors along the border, which is the product of the laboratory. The deployment of this sensor system will be installed for both ground and underground fence systems at the border. The program is part of a border defense project in the Gaza Strip, estimated at $ 3.5 billion.

Earlier, Israeli troops on April 15 reportedly destroyed a tunnel of the Hamas Islamic movement from the Gaza Strip to Israel, amid growing tensions along the border between Israel and the Palestinian territories. in recent weeks.

Israeli troops say Hamas has begun building the tunnel after the 2014 war between Israeli and Palestinian militant groups in Gaza, including Hamas.

During the war in 2014, Hamas militants repeatedly infiltrated Israel through a cross-border tunnel network. Israel has destroyed 32 tunnels in the war and also built underground baffles around the Gaza Strip to prevent intrusion.
