Two operations in northern Gaza were conducted and dismantled Hamas infrastructure, while undercover operations in the West Bank managed to detain Hamas operatives in Nablus.
The IDF destroyed a Hamas compound in the Shejaia, northern Gaza, containing launchers and rockets, while a tunnel hundreds of meters long was located and destroyed in Jabaliya, the military said on Tuesday.
“Since the ceasefire agreement came into effect, IDF soldiers from the 11th Brigade identified a compound containing launchers, rockets, and launch positions belonging to the Hamas terrorist organization in the center of the Shejaia area in northern Gaza,” the IDF stated.
“An underground tunnel route spanning hundreds of meters long and tens of meters deep was located in the Jabaliya area and dismantled by soldiers from the 188th Brigade, together with Yahalom soldiers,” the statement also specified.
In a separate operation, soldiers from the elite Duvdevan unit, under the direction of the Shin Bet (Israel’s Security Agency), arrested two terrorists who were hiding in neighborhoods of the city of Nablus.

“Two wanted terrorists identified with the Hamas terrorist organization in the Balata camp and the village of Masachen in Sha’biyah,” the military specified.
Hezbollah rearming at an alarming pace
In the northern front, a classified report shared in the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee in the Knesset stated that Hezbollah’s rearming rate was faster than the current attacks against it by the IDF.
The report specified that Hezbollah is strengthening its forces at a faster pace than the IDF is managing to hit it, with the blows inflicted during the last war starting to wear off as the organization recomposes its forces.
