During recent operations of the Paratroopers Brigade and Yahalom combat engineering

During recent operations of the Paratroopers Brigade and Yahalom combat engineering unit in southern Gaza's Khan Younis, the military says it located and demolished a kilometer-and-a-half-long tunnel.

The tunnel was used by Hamas operatives as a hideout, and inside, dozens of weapons were found, the IDF says.

Additionally, the troops, with support from the Israeli Air Force, destroyed dozens of buildings that had been booby-trapped by Hamas, and a weapons depot, the army says.

"The buildings were rigged with numerous explosives weighing some five tons," the IDF says.
