According to the IDF, soldiers killed “dozens” of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists who were “above ground and in an underground route in the area.”

The IDF added that soldiers seized many weapons and intelligence detailing “significant” Hamas battle plans.

Soldiers also uncovered tunnel shafts, including one adjacent to a kindergarten which the IDF said led to an “extensive underground route.”

Since the beginning of the ground invasion, Israeli combat engineers have uncovered and destroyed 130 Hamas tunnels.
