The IDF said Monday evening its forces, including the Northern Brigade and Yahalom combat engineering unit under Division 99, destroyed an additional underground tunnel route hundreds of meters long in the northern Gaza Strip, east of the Yellow Line. The operation is part of the brigade mission to dismantle Hamas's subterranean network.
The IDF confirmed Monday evening the destruction of an additional underground tunnel route in the northern Gaza Strip, east of the Yellow Line. The operation, carried out by the Northern Brigade and the Yahalom combat engineering unit under the 99th Division, is part of a brigade-level mission to dismantle Hamas's subterranean network. The military stated the tunnel measured hundreds of meters in length.
The development follows the IDF's earlier announcement at 17:02 Jerusalem, when the military confirmed the destruction of a separate Hamas tunnel and released footage of the operation. The Zioneer's initial report at 17:02 cited Israeli journalist Nitzan Shapira, followed by official IDF confirmation and footage release within the same timeframe.
The Zioneer has reported extensively on the IDF's campaign against Hamas's underground infrastructure. On June 16, The Zioneer reported on a controlled demolition operation in northwestern Gaza targeting subterranean assets. The northern Gaza Strip remains a focal point of Israeli security operations, as The Zioneer has noted, with the IDF working to prevent the re-establishment of Hamas's military capabilities near the border.
No further details on the exact location of the tunnel or any casualties were provided. The military did not disclose whether the route was operational or connected to other sections of the network.
