IDF expands its operations in Jabalya, destroys and dismantles 2.7 km. long tunnel
Combat engineers of the IDF's Armored Corps 401st Brigade have located and dismantled a network of tunnels located under Jabalya, measuring 2.7 km. in length, the IDF stated on Sunday.
As part of the IDF's expansion of ground activities in the area, hundreds of terrorist infrastructure sites have been dismantled, countless weapons have been confiscated, and dozens of terrorists have been killed.
Last week, three members of the 401st Brigade were killed inside their tank while operating in Jabalya. The IDF's investigation revealed that the soldiers' cause of death was from the turret exploding, despite their initial assessment being an anti-tank missile.
Renewal of fighting in Gaza
The IDF renewed its operations in Jabalya in mid-June for the third time since the start of the Israel-Hamas War in October 2023. Since the start of the renewed fighting, countless rocket launchers and tunnels are said to have been demolished.
Operations continue in Beit Hanun and Gaza City as well, uncovering and destroying Hamas infrastructure, coordinating their attacks with the Israel Air Force.
These attacks included the killing of Mohammed Nasser Ali Qanita, the terrorist who held Emily Damari hostage, by the IDF and Shin Bet on June 19.
