Troops from the Kfir Brigade destroyed two tunnels used by terror operatives in central Gaza, the IDF says, as the military continues efforts to clear terror infrastructure in the Israeli-controlled section of the Strip.

The tunnels had a combined length of approximately two kilometers (1.25 niles), the army says.

According to the IDF, the tunnels contained several living quarters as well as weapons, while troops also located dozens of rockets and explosive devices during searches in the area.

The military publishes photos of troops sealing the tunnels with cement.
