The IDF says it has demolished close to 5 miles worth of Hamas tunnels in northern Gaza’s Beit Lahiya.
Three tunnels were scanned and later destroyed by the elite Yahalom unit and other combat engineers, amid an ongoing operation against the Palestinian terror group in the area led by the Kfir Infantry Brigade.
The military says that in one of the tunnels troops located IDF equipment that was stolen by Hamas terrorists during its onslaught of October 7, 2023, along with weapons and maps of the Israeli border communities.
