During operations of the 7th Armored Brigade and elite Yahalom combat engineering unit in the Khan Younis area of southern Gaza, the IDF says troops located and demolished a 700-meter-long Hamas tunnel.
The tunnel, according to the military, was some 30 meters deep underground. The IDF publishes a video showing the demolition of the tunnel.
Also, during the operations in Khan Younis, the IDF says the troops spotted a cell of three operatives moving explosive devices to plant them. The forces called in a drone strike, killing the three operatives, the IDF adds, publishing a video of the incident.
The IDF says the troops operating in Khan Younis have killed dozens of terror operatives and destroyed over 100 infrastructures used by terror groups, including by calling in strikes.
