Coming face-to-face with Hamas terrorists in action

A paratrooper brigade combat team located and destroyed a major tunnel shaft that was part of a large route of tunnels. Another tunnel was storing weapons and was complete with an elevator, according to the IDF.

Golani forces also identified terrorists armed with anti-tank missiles heading to the same neighborhood.

Fighters from the 5th Brigade launched an attack in Beit Hanun against terrorists shooting at IDF forces from a mosque, as well as a UNRWA school building.

Israel's naval forces also struck terrorist infrastructure and vessels for terrorism.
