The IDF says that troops of the 401st Brigade uncovered weapons hidden in a building that formerly served as the Al-Rafi’i school in the Jabalia area of northern Gaza, and dismantled a nearby underground terror tunnel.
According to the military, the tunnel — approximately 400 meters (1,300 feet) long — was located adjacent to the school building and was neutralized during the operation. Soldiers also took down military structures used by terrorist cells that, the IDF says, had been attempting to target Israeli forces operating in the area.
The activity was carried out under the command of the 162nd Division, as part of ongoing Israeli efforts to dismantle Hamas infrastructure in Gaza.
