IDF says troops found tunnels, weapons manufacturing equipment in Khan Younis residential complex

The IDF says troops of the 7th Armored Brigade located Hamas tunnels in the Hamad Town residential complex in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis.

It says one of the tunnel shafts led to an underground route where food and weapons were found.

Another tunnel shaft contained weapons manufacturing equipment and concrete production machinery used by Hamas to build tunnels, the IDF says.

The IDF says the tunnels were destroyed in an airstrike.

The IDF says the brigade raided several more Hamas sites in the Hamad area, seizing sniper rifles, explosive devices, military equipment, and intelligence documents.

Alongside the Military Intelligence Directorate’s Unit 504 and Shin Bet, dozens of terror operatives attempting to flee with evacuating civilians from the Hamad area have been captured by troops, and hundreds more suspects have been taken for questioning, the IDF adds.
