The Israeli military releases footage showing gunmen climbing onto trucks carrying humanitarian aid in the Rafah area of the southern Gaza Strip.

According to the IDF, Hamas operatives frequently try to hijack aid deliveries heading along a designated route.

In the past week, troops of the Nahal Brigade raided a school adjacent to the “humanitarian route,” where a group of gunmen were holed up. The IDF says the gunmen had been planning to take control of the route where the aid trucks drive.

The Nahal troops used drones to kill the gunmen, and later found a tunnel shaft in the school’s courtyard, the IDF says.

Additionally, the IDF releases footage of a tunnel that was discovered in the Brazil neighborhood of Rafah, and later demolished.

According to the IDF, the tunnel was several hundred meters long and had multiple levels.
