A Hamas tunnel located on the outskirts of Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip was demolished by combat engineers, the IDF says.
The tunnel was some 700 meters long, according to the military.
It had been located and later demolished by the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit and 603rd Combat Engineering Battalion.
Also in the Deir al-Balah area, the IDF says troops with the Paratroopers Brigade’s 202nd Battalion located a cache of weapons in a home, including anti-tank projectiles and other military equipment. Some of the weapons were hidden in a bedroom with a baby crib, the army says.
