Another three Hamas operatives who were holed up in a tunnel in southern Gaza’s Rafah were confirmed to have been killed, the military says.
Dozens of Hamas operatives were believed to be trapped underground in the eastern Rafah area, on the Israeli side of the ceasefire line, since October. The IDF has reported killing or capturing more than 50 of them in recent months.
According to the IDF, troops of the Golani Brigade carried out searches yesterday in the area and located the bodies of three terror operatives, who it says were killed as a result of “operations conducted along the tunnel route.”
The IDF says it is continuing to operate in the area to kill or capture any remaining gunmen.
