Troops of the 99th Division completed a raid in Gaza City’s Zeitoun and Sabra neighborhoods this week, the military says.
The pinpoint operation was carried out by the Carmeli and Yiftah brigades, along with the elite Multi-Domain Unit aka the Ghost Unit.
Amid the operation, the IDF says troops killed dozens of gunmen and demolished some 50 sites belonging to terror groups, including rocket launchers and weapon depots.
Meanwhile, the Alexandroni Reserve Infantry Brigade and 8th Reserve Armored Brigade were deployed this week to the Netzarim Corridor in the central Gaza Strip, where the 99th Division has been based.
The division, along with troops of the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit, recently demolished an 800-meter-long tunnel in the Juhor ad-Dik area in the corridor, the IDF says.
According to the IDF, the tunnel, some 30 meters deep, had several rooms and blast doors, and had been used by Hamas operatives.
