Dozens of terrorists were eliminated, around 100 terror targets were destroyed, and one of the largest underground infrastructures found so far was uncovered\u2014approximately 30 meters deep and about 700 meters long.<\/p>\n
In one documented operation, soldiers from the brigade identified three terrorists dragging explosives in an attempt to rig the area with IEDs. A rapid target acquisition led to a precise airstrike, in a coordinated effort between ground forces and the Air Force. Additionally, Yahalom combat engineers worked to destroy the exposed tunnel, which was used for terrorist activities deep inside the Gaza Strip.
