The Zionist army discovered a booby-trapped tunnel that was dug from the south of the Gaza Strip into the occupied territories "to be used for committing a terrorist attack," the Zionist radio said Sunday.

"Army troops discovered the tunnel openings inside Israel, and they have worked for several days to neutralize the explosives planted inside it," the radio quoted Zionist military sources as saying.

The sources also claimed that the tunnel had been drilled for 15 meters in depth and for 2 and a half kilometers in length.

They added the tunnel "was remarkably wide and it is not unlikely that saboteurs were intending to use it to kidnap a soldier or for future military operation against the (Zionist) army."
