Gaza tunnels

During these operations, troops also dismantled above-ground terror infrastructure and eliminated several Hamas operatives.

Avinatan Or, Alon Ohel, and Guy Gilboa-Dalal were treated at the Rabin Medical Center-Beilinson Campus when they were first freed from Hamas captivity.

The Hamas terrorists were actively involved in efforts to rebuild the organization’s military capabilities, as well as advancing imminent attack plans against IDF troops.

The plan follows an eight-month timeline that begins with a US-backed committee of Palestinian technocrats taking security control of Gaza and concludes with Israeli forces withdrawing completely.

The IDF's Southern Command continues operations to destroy terror infrastructure and remove threats in the Gaza Strip, killing over 60 Hamas terrorists last month.

Former Gaza hostage Matan Angrest told Channel 12's 'Uvda' about his captivity, including Hamas torture, the loss of his tank crew, bonding with fellow hostage Gali Berman, and his eventual release.

The tunnels crossed into IDF-controlled areas east of the yellow line, with the IDF attacking Hezbollah targets in Lebanon later on Thursday.

Dr. Lynette Nusbacher, an American military historian, told The Telegraph that she deemed it “plausible” that Iranian-backed groups, including Hezbollah, are behind the construction of the tunnels.

Held two weeks ago, the concert celebrated Ohel’s first birthday outside captivity, coming four months after his release. Tickets sold out within hours.

One of the Hamas tunnels was approximately one kilometer long, the IDF said, and it contained several living quarters as well as explosive devices.
