The troops found a number of shafts that led to a tunnel system that was hundreds of meters long. They also found a stockpile of weapons including bombs, shells grenades, and RPG missiles.
Additional shafts located later led to a complex underground tunnel system that included booby-trapped doors leading to a weapons production facility that contained machines, air conditioning, explosives, and materials for the production of long-range rockets utilized by Hamas.
Earlier on Thursday the military said that terrorists from the Hamas Nukhba force who had surrendered to IDF troops said others among them had been killed in underground runnels in the area of Khan Younis including commanders.
The troops killed many terrorists from the Hamas Khan Younis brigade disrupting the Hamas chain of command and control in the area.
