The IDF releases footage showing the demolition of a Hamas tunnel in the area of Gaza City’s eastern Daraj and Tuffah neighborhoods.

According to the military, the tunnel was 800 meters long and some 18 meters deep underground. It was destroyed by combat engineers of the elite Yahalom unit.

The IDF also publishes a video showing a drone strike on an RPG-wielding Hamas operative in the area.

The military says troops of the Commando Brigade spotted the cell of armed operatives near troops and called in the strike against them.
