(Worthy News) – Israeli forces have dismantled eight Hamas tunnel routes and killed dozens of terrorists in the Gaza Strip, according to the Israel Defense Forces. The operation concluded a two-month deployment by reservists from the 205th Brigade in northern Gaza.
Operating under the 252nd Division near the strategic Yellow Line, Israeli troops worked alongside the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit to locate and destroy underground tunnel systems used by Hamas. The military said specialized drilling and detection methods were used to uncover the hidden infrastructure.
The Yellow Line marks the boundary between Israeli-controlled areas and Hamas-held territory under a U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreement reached on October 10, 2025. Despite the agreement, tensions remain high, with repeated encounters between Israeli forces and hostile operatives.
In recent days, Israeli troops engaged several individuals approaching their positions. On Sunday, forces killed a member of Hamas’s Beit Lahia Battalion who had previously launched rockets into Israeli territory. The military said the suspect was identified as an immediate threat.
In another incident, Israeli troops killed a terrorist who approached forces in southern Gaza. Additional engagements over the weekend resulted in at least three more terrorists being killed after crossing the ceasefire line and advancing toward Israeli positions.
The 205th Brigade’s deployment marked its sixth since the war began, highlighting the continued security challenges facing Israel. Troops from the 14th Brigade are expected to replace them as operations continue under Southern Command.
The ceasefire ended the war that began on October 7, 2023, when Hamas and other groups launched a deadly attack on southern Israel. However, ongoing incidents along the ceasefire line demonstrate that the situation remains unstable and requires continued vigilance.
