Brigade 401 has been conducting operations in the Tel al-Sultan and Shabura neighborhoods in Rafah, Gaza Strip, over the past few weeks.

IDF combat teams of Battalion 932 in Brigade 401 located a tunnel shaft, a large number of weapons, and night vision equipment inside a child's bedroom in a residential building in the Shabura Camp in Rafah, the IDF reported Wednesday. 

After soldiers moved the child's bed, they found a tunnel shaft containing weapons, including AK-47s, munitions, and medical equipment. The child's room was painted pink and purple and had flowers and butterflies on the walls.

Separately, troops in the 52nd Battalion engaged in close-quarters combat with armed terrorists inside a building in Tel al-Sultan and the Shabura neighborhood in Rafah and killed the terrorists.
