In a recent military operation, IDF troops, including the Yiftah Battalion (11th) and combat engineering forces, targeted the Issa area in southern Gaza City. The mission aimed at dismantling a tunnel network serving as an underground post and eliminating multiple buildings utilized as Hamas headquarters. Intense close-quarters combat ensued as soldiers thwarted a terrorist cell attempting to attack the forces.

Key findings include the discovery of shafts leading to a significant underground tunnel route by the Paratroopers Brigade. Units such as Yahalom and Oketz K-9 meticulously examined the strategic tunnel beneath the "Issa" post, used as an underground base by Hamas. The IDF, in collaboration with combat engineering forces, successfully destroyed the multi-level structure, disrupting terrorist activities.

Marom Brigade's Oketz K-9 Unit released footage exposing a vast tunnel network, including command rooms and bunkers. The Yahalom Unit provided a 3D model, while additional visuals showcased exposed tunnel shafts in the Issa area.
