The area where the forces operated included factories and workshops above ground and underground, that supplied weapons and military equipment for Hamas terrorists.
The division’s soldiers located dozens of tunnel shafts that connected to a wide network of hundreds spanning kilometers in length, uncovering an opening leading to the house of a senior member in Hamas’ weapons production operation.
The tunnels were divided into spaces that served to produce rockets and military equipment, spreading these weapons throughout the entire strip.

The soldiers located terrorist funds in safes, propaganda materials, maps and weapons in the area.”
