IDF forces from the Kfir Brigade’s combat team, under the command of the 36th Division, are operating in southern Khan Younis in the Gaza Strip.
During the operation, the soldiers, in coordination with elite Yahalom combat engineers, located and destroyed a major underground tunnel route stretching approximately 3.5 kilometers. The route contained multiple tunnels and rooms used by terrorists for shelter.
The troops also demolished a terror infrastructure site storing explosives intended for use against Israeli forces. Additional weapons were found in the area.
The IDF continues its operations across Gaza to defend the citizens of Israel—especially those living in the communities near the border.
