Can someone attempt to explain for me what’s going in with the pronunciation of words like תנועה?

So many israelis pronounce words like תנועה really uniquely and i can’t tell what’s going on exactly. The T sound seems silent but it also doesn’t just sound simply like “noo-ah”. It’s very difficult to try and emulate this pronunciation anyone have any insights for me?
