Soldiers from the 7th Armored Brigade "Saar me-Golan" and special forces of the Engineering Corps "Yahalom" discovered and destroyed Hamas' strategic tunnel in the heart of Khan Yunis. It stretched for one and a half kilometers. The terrorist infrastructure facility was located near two schools in a densely populated residential quarter.
The IDF spokesperson reported that Hamas militants attempted to impede the advancement of Israeli forces, engaging soldiers with gunfire from grenade launchers and light firearms. They detonated tunnel entrances in the hope of avoiding detection.
Dozens of terrorists were eliminated during the fighting in this area. The combat unit of the 7th Armored Brigade, along with "Yahalom" fighters, managed to uncover dozens of entrances to the tunnel, which housed, among other things, an underground rocket plant. The IDF statement highlights that this is the largest weapon production discovered in Khan Yunis to date.
