Over the past few weeks, the Nahal Brigade combat team in the 162nd Division has been operating in the Daraj Tuffah area in the northern Gaza Strip. In cooperation with the Intelligence Directorate and special forces, the troops located a Hamas strategic tunnel shaft, leading to a 100-meter-long tunnel, in which a weapons production site was located.

IDF: Underground tunnel route dismantled, targeted raids carried out on Islamic Jihad terror infrastructure and battle plans for the October 7th massacre located: the Yftah (11th) Brigade operating in Shejaiya
In cooperation with the Armored Corps, the Intelligence Directorate, and the Combat Engineering Corps, the 11th Brigade conducted targeted raids on terror infrastructure in the Shejaiya area in order to locate and dismantle Islamic Jihad’s tunnel shafts. During the activity in eastern Shejaiya, the forces located a tunnel shaft that led to a tunnel route and a rocket launcher nearby.
In an operation in northern Shejaiya, the forces located shafts near the residence of Ahmad Samara, an Islamic Jihad commander of terror projects in the northern Gaza Strip. Additionally, the forces found many weapons, instruction manuals, battle plans for the October 7th massacre, and Mein Kampf translated into Arabic inside the residence.

In the north, Hezbollah decided to enter into this war, we are exerting an increasing cost from Hezbollah all the time, they paid yesterday with seven killed, they paid yesterday with two very important targets, and we are increasing the price that they are paying. It will end with us having a responsibility, a duty, to return the residents of the north in security, not under duress, safely to their homes. It will come either by the pressure we are now applying, which is rising, and will do the job and we will create a completely different reality, or we will get to another war.

To achieve the war goals we have a long way to go and therefore this will take time.”
