The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Shin Bet announced on Wednesday the killing of two terrorists in Khan Yunis who were allegedly involved in smuggling weapons into Gaza. The two individuals, Basel Nabil Abd Al-Rahman Kashta and Ahmad Raja Al-Shaer, were targeted in an operation aimed at eliminating an immediate threat to Israeli civilians and IDF troops operating in the Yellow Line area.
The IDF stated that precise munitions and aerial surveillance were employed to minimize harm to civilians. Additionally, the IDF reported that engineering troops from the Gaza Division's Southern Brigade, in collaboration with the Yahalom combat engineering unit, successfully sealed and dismantled a 1.5-kilometer-long underground tunnel route in the Yellow Line area.
The tunnel was found to contain rooms intended for use by Hamas terrorists. The IDF also noted that the 99th Division completed a four-month mission in the northern Gaza Strip, where they eliminated over 100 terrorists and neutralized approximately eight kilometers of underground tunnels.
