The operation, commanded by the IDF\u2019s 36th Division, led to the elimination of dozens of terrorists, the exposure of numerous tunnel shafts, and the destruction of hundreds of terror-related infrastructure sites.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Deadly Escape Route Ends in Flames<\/strong><br \/>\nAt the heart of the operation was a tunnel used by Hamas fighters to escape after a deadly IED attack that killed IDF Capt. Raviv and Staff Sgt. Sharur. The tunnel shaft was rigged with explosives, and after a swift analysis of the escape path, Yahalom units were deployed to demolish the tunnel, which stretched several hundred meters underground.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nGKiNMVcLPc?si=K-lBpuKrtNf2vFRz\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<em>Troops secure tunnel shaft following explosion | Photo: IDF Spokesperson\u2019s Unit<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Militants Neutralized Inside the Tunnel<\/strong><br \/>\nWhile clearing the tunnel, troops discovered an additional Hamas cell hiding within.

the mission marked another step in its ongoing campaign to dismantle Hamas&#8217; subterranean network\u2014a key tactical asset for the group in the dense, urban areas of Gaza.<\/p>\n<figure
