The IDF Spokesperson announced Wednesday that troops sealed two more Hamas underground routes east of the yellow line in the Gaza Strip. The operation was carried out by the Southern Brigade together with Yahalom, the Combat Engineering Corps' special operations unit. According to the IDF Spokesperson, the sealed routes had a combined length of more than two kilometers. The army said the two routes were additional to those already closed, and described the work as part of its continuing effort to neutralize the tunnel network built by the terror organizations in Gaza.
