IDF troops operating in northern Gaza’s Zeitoun area discovered and destroyed a roughly one-kilometer-long Hamas tunnel equipped with living quarters and weapons, the military says.
Soldiers from the 7th Brigade, under the 99th Division, located the underground tunnel during operations on the outskirts of Gaza City. According to the IDF, the tunnel was used by Hamas operatives for military purposes.
In addition, the brigade, working alongside the Israeli Air Force, dismantled other terrorist infrastructure, seized additional weapons, and neutralized several terror operatives who allegedly posed a threat to troops in the area.
