מִנְהָרָה
The primary objective of Operation Protective Edge was the destruction of tunnels that Hamas had built to terrorize Israel.
The Hebrew word for tunnel is מִנְהָרָה
. It comes from the word נָהָר
meaning river, so that a tunnel is a place dug through the ground, potentially by a river.
For example:
כָּל יוֹם, תַּיָּרִים רַבִּים בָּאִים לְמִנְהָרוֹת הַכֹּתֶל.
Every day, many tourists come to the Kotel (Western Wall) Tunnels.
