The combat engineers of the 401st Brigade of the IDF found and demolished Jabalya’s tunnel network in the IDF’s expanding operations in Gaza.
The combat engineers of the 401st Brigade of the IDF Armored Forces have found and removed the network of tunnels located below Jabalya, measuring 2.7 km. IDF said on Sunday.
Hundreds of terrorist infrastructure have been removed, countless weapons have been confiscated, dozens of terrorists have been killed as part of IDF’s expansion of ground activities in the region.
Three members of the 401st Brigade were killed inside its tanks while operating in Jabalya last week. The IDF’s investigation shows that although their initial assessment was anti-tank missiles, the soldiers’ death was a turret explosion.
