IDF Rules Out Tunnel in Cave Discovered Near Horshim

The IDF said on Sunday that initial checks of a cave discovered near Horshim had ruled out the possibility that it was a tunnel. A civilian found the cave on Saturday in the Ephraim Brigade area, and security forces and specialist engineering personnel are investigating it. The initial investigation found a dug cave with no exit opening or tunnel route. Excavation tools were found, but no weapons were discovered inside the cave or nearby. The investigation into the findings and searches around the site are continuing.
