The Bislamach Brigade — the IDF’s School for Infantry Corps Professions and Squad Commanders in peacetime — has been withdrawn from southern Gaza’s Rafah after a week and a half of operations.

The IDF says the brigade will now prepare for additional operations.

This week, troops of the Bislamach Brigade discovered a tunnel shaft in a child’s bedroom, the military says.

The IDF says the troops also discovered a cache of weapons, including explosive devices stored inside bags bearing the United Nations logo.
