The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have undertaken significant operations in the Gaza Strip, uncovering and destroying a network of terror tunnels. Among the notable actions, the IDF located and demolished a 1.5 km long tunnel near the Rafah border crossing. Additionally, 20 terror tunnels were uncovered in the Rafah area, marking the largest IDF operation in the Gaza Strip in several months. In Jabaliya, northern Gaza, the IDF demolished a Hamas tunnel network from which the bodies of seven hostages were recovered earlier this month. The elite Yahalom combat engineering unit used specialized equipment to ensure no more hostages were present before destroying the tunnels. The bodies recovered included Ron Benjamin, Itzhak Gelerenter, Amit Buskila, Shani Louk, Hanan Yablonka, Michel Nisenbaum, and Orion Hernandez.
