This particular tunnel was massive. It was much deeper than the others, at a depth of 55 meters. It was 800 meters long. This tunnel had railroad tracks laid to move heavy equipment in to Israel, along with electricity, lighting, and stairs. More details can be found at Israel Hayom and Times of Israel.
Thank God and the IDF for this latest discovery. May they have continued success in the defense of Israel and the Jews. My only question is why the IDF is calling this the last tunnel. This can only be the last tunnel until they find or don't find the next one. They probably thought the previously discovered tunnel - the fifth tunnel - was the last on as well, though I dont remember them saying ti was the last one - I do remember PM Netanyahu explaining that after finding and demolishing that tunnel, the threat/crisis is now behind us and we can now go to new elections. It seems more hopeful - they, and I, hope it is the last tunnel and that there are no more. Hopefully it is the last one and the threat is now really behind us.

In this ridiculous kabuki theatre, the IDF has handcuffed itself to this moral superiorty fetish, to tackle tunnels only when they come into the Israeli side. How else would you get Hizbooah to think the coast is clear and to resume work on the other tunnels to get them to a place its "kosher" to destroy them? I'm guessing the announcement that they're finished is of the same sort as the ones pooh-poohibng resident's reports of digging noises while they lined up the nessecary resources. Or at least I hope so.
