Troops of the IDF’s Nahal Brigade destroyed several Hamas tunnels and weapons during operations this past week in northern Gaza’s Beit Hanoun, the military says.
The IDF launched a fresh operation in Beit Hanoun last weekend.
The military says that the Nahal troops, operating under the Gaza Division, killed several cells of gunmen, and demolished infrastructure used by terror groups, including tunnels.
The troops also located numerous weapons, including rocket launchers, mortars, RPGs, and explosive devices, along with other equipment, the IDF says.
The brigade has also directed several airstrikes in Beit Hanoun, the IDF says, including a drone strike on a rocket launcher used by terrorists in a previous attack on Israel.
