A tunnel at least 25 meters deep that was still under excavation was uncovered in Qalqilya on Wednesday during an operation by Israel Police and Border Police officers, police said. The officers also found the start of another excavation nearby, along with weapons and other equipment. Police arrested four suspects and took them for questioning.

Officers from the Samaria District crime-fighting unit and Border Police discovered the tunnel during a targeted intelligence operation in the West Bank. The officers entered Qalqilya and searched a location identified through intelligence. During the operation, they found the tunnel, which police said reaches a depth of at least 25 meters.

During the search, officers seized an M16 rifle, a sniper rifle, ammunition, and magazines.

Police arrested four suspects found at the site and took them for further questioning.
