Israeli troops have launched a significant military operation in Gaza City's Shejaiya neighborhood, resulting in the elimination of over 150 terrorists and the demolition of six tunnels used by Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. The operation, led by the 98th and 99th Divisions and involving the Paratroopers Brigade, 7th Brigade, and Yahalom Unit, has been ongoing for more than two weeks. In addition to the tunnels, the IDF has dismantled booby-trapped buildings and discovered dozens of weapons and intelligence documents. Among the destroyed tunnels was Islamic Jihad's 'flagship' tunnel in Gaza City. Approximately 6 km of tunnels were destroyed.
