The military says it demolished a tunnel in the central Gaza Strip this week, amid an operation in Gaza City’s Zeitoun neighborhood.

The week-long operation, carried out by the Nahal and Carmeli brigades, was wrapped up yesterday.

The IDF says troops demolished Hamas sites, including attack tunnels, weapon manufacturing sites, rocket launchers and command rooms amid the pinpoint raid.

IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said Tuesday that some 150 terror operatives were killed in Zeitoun.
