IDF troops from the 7th Brigade dismantled a 500-meter-long tunnel in Khan Younis, the military reported on Saturday. The forces were operating on the outskirts of Deir al-Balah, where they destroyed additional terror infrastructure and eliminated dozens of Hamas terrorists. Troops from the elite engineering Yahalom unit and the 82nd Battalion uncovered and dismantled the underground tunnel, which was used by Islamic Jihad.
In a separate operation, the 77th Battalion raided a terrorist compound, discovering weapons including military vests, grenades, and a rocket launcher that was prepared for firing.
