Amid the ongoing ceasefire in Gaza, the IDF says troops deployed to the Strip’s north — on the eastern side of the Yellow Line — destroyed a Hamas tunnel spanning hundreds of meters and located a rocket launching site.
Reservists of the Yiftah Brigade who are operating in Gaza City’s eastern Shejaiya neighborhood found a site with several launchers, rockets and launch posts, according to the IDF.
Meanwhile, in the Jabalia area, the IDF says troops of the 188th Armored Brigade and the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit located and destroyed a Hamas tunnel that was hundreds of meters long and dozens of meters deep.
The tunnel had been used by Hamas operatives for residing in for long periods and preparing to launch attacks against troops, according to the military.
