13 04 2025 A 1.2-kilometer-long tunnel was recently destroyed by IDF troops

A 1.2-kilometer-long tunnel was recently destroyed by IDF troops during operations in the northern Gaza Strip, the military says.

The tunnel was located by the Gaza Division's Northern Brigade, which is operating under the 252nd Division in north Gaza.

Soldiers of the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit demolished the tunnel, which reached depths of some 20 meters below the ground, according to the IDF.

The IDF says the Northern Brigade troops also located a nearby weapons depot where some 20 explosive devices, an anti-tank launcher, and other weapons were stored.

Also during operations in the area, the military says troops using a drone spotted a cell of terror operatives trying to plant a bomb in the ground near the forces. An Israeli Air Force drone struck and killed the operatives a short while later.
