The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) uncovered a 1.5-kilometer-long terror tunnel in eastern Rafah, Gaza Strip, used by Hamas for attacks. The tunnel contained large quantities of weapons, including anti-tank missiles and explosives, and featured multiple rooms and blast doors. The IDF destroyed the tunnel and its infrastructure during the operation.
The IDF destroyed an 800-meter-long terror tunnel in the Gaza Strip used by Hamas, along with other terror infrastructure and weapons. Operations in Jabalya resulted in the elimination of terrorists and the destruction of a laboratory for producing explosives. IDF aircraft also targeted 75 terror sites in the Strip.
The IDF has destroyed the largest terror tunnel found in northern Gaza, measuring about four kilometers in length and ending near the Erez crossing without crossing into Israeli territory. The tunnel, discovered in mid-December, was a part of a wide network with branches and infrastructure, allowing the movement of vehicles and housing weapons. The IDF's ground maneuver and intelligence operations provided crucial information about the Hamas terror tunnels project, leading to its systematic dismantling as part of the ongoing conflict.
A newly released video shows Yahya Sinwar, Hamas' top official in Gaza and suspected mastermind of the Oct. 7 attacks, fleeing through a tunnel with his family. The IDF has been pursuing Sinwar since December and vows to continue the hunt until he is captured. Sinwar's whereabouts have become unclear, with speculation that he may be hiding in Rafah, Gaza's most populous city. Hamas has not commented on the video or the whereabouts of its leader.
