Over the past hour, IDF troops operating in northern Gaza have destroyed a Hamas tunnel spanning hundreds of meters and located a rocket launching site in the eastern Shejaiya neighborhood, according to the IDF. During this period, reservists of the Yiftah Brigade discovered a site with multiple launchers, rockets, and launch posts in eastern Shejaiya. Simultaneously, in the Jabalia area, troops from the 188th Armored Brigade and the Yahalom combat engineering unit located and destroyed a deep Hamas tunnel that had been used by operatives for prolonged stays and preparation for attacks against soldiers, the military stated. These operations occur amidst an ongoing ceasefire in Gaza. Separately, a Shin Bet representative stated in a confidential Foreign Affairs and Security Committee hearing that 80% of terrorists released in the Shalit deal have returned to terrorism, as reported by a Telegram news channel. Last month, Vice President Vance visited the newly opened Civil-Military Coordination Center in Israel, intended to oversee the path to lasting peace and assist in rebuilding Gaza. The center involves collaboration between Israelis and Americans on peace initiatives.
