Reservists from the Yiftah Brigade, operating in Gaza City’s eastern Shejaiya neighborhood, located several launchers, rockets and launch posts, the IDF said.
In the Jabalia area, soldiers from the 188th Armored Brigade and the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit found and demolished the underground tunnel, which extended dozens of meters deep.
The military said Hamas fighters had used the tunnel to reside for extended periods and prepare attacks on Israeli forces.
The operations took place east of the Yellow Line in northern Gaza, according to the IDF.
