The IDF releases footage showing the demolition of tunnels and booby traps in Beit Hanoun, amid an ongoing offensive against Hamas in the northern Gaza town.
Troops of the Givati Infantry Brigade killed dozens of operatives in combat and by directing airstrikes, as well as destroyed Hamas infrastructure, including tunnels, in a joint effort with combat engineers, the military says.
The IDF says the Givati soldiers also found a rocket launcher previously used by Hamas to fire at Israel.
Also in Beit Hanoun, reservists of the 646th Reserve Paratroopers Brigade planted explosive devices and directed a drone strike on the site to destroy them, the IDF says.
Additionally, troops of the Gaza Division’s Northern Brigade directed an airstrike on an operative seen transporting weapons in Beit Hanoun.
