The IDF announced Tuesday that troops had dismantled a 1.5-kilometer underground terror tunnel route in northern Gaza. Northern Brigade troops operating under the 99th Division worked with Southern Command engineering forces to clear terrorist infrastructure east of the Yellow Line. The military said brigade troops and divisional engineering troops dismantled the route as part of that work. Southern Command forces remain deployed under the ceasefire agreement and will continue operating to remove immediate threats, according to the statement. The announcement did not specify when the tunnel was destroyed.
