The 401st Brigade's combat team has been operating in the Tel Sultan neighborhood of Rafah for the past few weeks, eliminating terrorists and seizing multiple weapons caches.

The forces eliminated more than 200 terrorists and seized weapons caches hidden in civilian areas, including one in a basement where terrorists were holed up - and eliminated.
