Tunnel Network Discovered Near an UNRWA School

As part of the soldiers' activity in the area, several significant tunnel shafts were located that led to a tunnel network. The route was then investigated by Yahalom soldiers. The route is 500 meters long and passes near an UNRWA school.

Last night, soldiers of the 931st Battalion carried out searches in the area, during the searches the soldiers located nine rocket launchers. The soldiers eliminated the launch site.
