Between Wednesday and Thursday, IDF troops have continued to operate in the central Gaza corridor, eliminating terrorists and striking terrorist infrastructure, the military reported.
The IDF's Nahal Brigade eliminated several terrorists and destroyed terrorist infrastructure in a corridor in the center of the Gaza Strip, the IDF added.
The soldiers, in cooperation with the Yahalom Unit and combat engineers, located and destroyed over 20 kilometers of terror tunnels in the corridor area, part of which connected the Gaza Strip from the north to the south underground.
In one of the attacks, the Nahal Brigade forces identified two terrorists attempting to launch rockets toward Israeli territory, and in response, the Israel Air Force (IAF) struck them.
