Underground Tunnel Located and Dismantled in the Northern Gaza Strip
Troops of the 16th Brigade, under the command of the 252nd Division, continue to operate in the Shejaiya area to dismantle Hamas’ terrorist infrastructure both above and below ground, and to expand secure operational activity in the area.
Since the beginning of the activity, the troops have dismantled terrorist infrastructure and eliminated dozens of terrorists. Earlier this week, the troops eliminated a terrorist cell that was planning a sniper attack against IDF troops. Additionally, troops of the brigade, in cooperation with the Yahalom Unit, located and dismantled several underground routes and a weapons storage facility.
IDF troops will continue to operate against terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip in order to protect the citizens of the State of Israel.
