Troops of the 97th Battalion, under the command of the Northern Gaza Brigade and the 99th Division, operated over the past week in the Beit Hanoun area in the northern Gaza Strip.

During the operation, the troops located and dismantled dozens of terrorist infrastructure and eliminated terrorists in the Gaza Strip.

The soldiers, in cooperation with Yahalom unit troops, completed the dismantling of the underground terror tunnel from which terrorists emerged during a battle in Operation Protective Edge, in which Lieutenant Colonel Dolev Keidar, Second Lieutenant Yuval Heiman, Sergeant Major Ksahoon (Dani) Bainsin, and Sergeant First Class Nadav Goldmacher fell, may their memories be a blessing. The terror tunnel, approximately one kilometer in length, was completely dismantled.

This operation reflects the IDF's commitment to dismantling previously utilized terrorist infrastructure and preventing its reuse.
