A cache of weapons and equipment belonging to Hamas operatives was recently found by troops in a tunnel in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis, the IDF says.
The find was made by soldiers of the 7th Armored Brigade and the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit, which are operating under the 98th Division.
Also amid the 98th Division’s operations in Khan Younis, the IDF says drone strikes were carried out against dozens of sites and operatives, including a terrorist who participated in the October 7 onslaught and Hamas commanders of engineering and sniper units.
