The IDF says it demolished a kilometer-long tunnel in the northern Gaza Strip

The IDF says it demolished a kilometer-long tunnel in the northern Gaza Strip amid ongoing operations in the area.

Troops of the 252nd Division have been operating in the Strip's far north and in the Netzarim Corridor area, which the military says is aimed at expanding Israel's buffer zone with Gaza.

Amid the division's operations in north and central Gaza, the IDF says troops have killed over 50 terror operatives.

In the Beit Lahiya area, a Hamas tunnel which was at least a kilometer long, was destroyed by the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit, the military says.

In a separate operation, the troops found a rocket manufacturing site and several launchers, the IDF added.
