Troops of the 55th Reserve Paratroopers Brigade operating in the Khan Younis area located several tunnel entrances, including one in a mosque, the military says.

The IDF says next to the tunnel in the mosque, troops found a rocket launcher and observation equipment used by Hamas operatives.

Another tunnel entrance found in the area connects to an underground passage and a command center used by Hamas’s elite Nukhba forces, according to the IDF

The tunnels were destroyed by combat engineers.
