Newly released footage by the IDF shows the demolition of a major Hamas tunnel in southern Gaza, uncovered and dismantled by the 188th Armored Brigade and the Yahalom combat engineering unit.
According to the IDF, the underground passage, located in the Khan Younis area, stretched two kilometers and reached a depth of 20 meters. It was allegedly used by Hamas for military activity and as a hideout, with troops discovering sleeping quarters inside. Part of the tunnel ran beneath the former Ma’an School building.
The military says the operation was part of a broader campaign in recent weeks in which the 188th Brigade, together with the Israeli Air Force, destroyed hundreds of Hamas military infrastructure sites, killed dozens of operatives and located weapons in the area.
