IDF Troops Eliminated an Armed Terrorist Cell and Dismantled an Underground Tunnel Route at a Depth of Approximately 18 Meters
Troops from the Nahal Brigade, under the command of the 162nd Division, are operating in the Daraj Tuffah area in northern Gaza.
Over the past week, the Commando Brigade identified a terrorist cell armed with an RPG near our troops. In a rapid response, an Israeli Air Force aircraft, directed by the troops operating on the ground, carried out precise strikes and eliminated the terrorists.
In a separate activity, the troops, in coordination with Yahalom soldiers, dismantled an underground tunnel route approximately 800 meters long and 18 meters deep.
So far, the troops have dismantled weapons, observation posts, and military structures belonging to terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip, including a weapons storage facility where Hamas terrorists were hiding.
Troops of the Southern Command continue to operate in the Gaza Strip in order to protect the civilians of the State of Israel, and residents of the communities surrounding the Gaza Strip in particular.
