In recent weeks, troops from the 92nd Battalion in the Kfir Brigade, under the command of the Northern Gaza Brigade, have been operating in the Beit Hanoun area of the Gaza Strip to dismantle the remaining terrorist infrastructure in the area, both above and below ground. The infrastructure sites are located east of the Yellow Line, in accordance with the ceasefire agreement.

Overnight, the troops together with Yahalom soldiers, dismantled the underground tunnel route where three of their fellow battalion members fell exactly 11 months ago: CPT Ilay Gavriel Atedgi, SFC (Res.) Hillel Diener, and SSGT Netanel Pessach, during an encounter with terrorists.

The dismantled tunnel was approximately one kilometer long and dozens of meters deep.

IDF troops under the Southern Command continue operating in the area to remove any immediate threat to the troops and to the residents of the western Negev, in order to ensure the security of Israeli civilians.
