Yerushalayim — In the past few weeks, the 401st Brigade Combat Team of the IDF, in cooperation with the Yahalom Unit and Unit 504, has been operating under Division 162 in eastern Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip to locate terrorist infrastructure and tunnel routes, according to the IDF.
So far, during the soldiers’ operations, many terrorists have been eliminated, and dozens of Hamas terrorist infrastructure sites have been destroyed.
Following intelligence, the soldiers reached a tunnel shaft 100 meters from the Rafah Border Crossing with Egypt. The tunnel shaft led to an underground tunnel route used by the Hamas terrorist organization to carry out attacks and operations against IDF troops. The tunnel branches into several different routes and at various depths. The entire route is 1.5 kilometers long and contains several blast doors.
During the operation, large quantities of weapons, including short-range anti-tank missiles, AK-47s, explosives and grenades, were found inside. The route included a hideout, toilets, and additional rooms. All the routes and compounds were destroyed.
