In the Khan Younis area of the southern Gaza Strip, the IDF published footage on December 20, 2025, between 3:47 PM and 5:47 PM UTC showing the demolition of Hamas tunnels on the Israeli side of the Yellow Line, while announcing the replacement of the Kfir Brigade by the 188th Armored Brigade, according to the IDF. The footage was released as the IDF stated that over the past few months, Kfir Brigade troops alongside the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit demolished hundreds of terror infrastructures in Khan Younis, including a two-kilometer-long tunnel and another spanning hundreds of meters, per the army's announcement. This development occurred during ongoing operations in the area, with the IDF providing the details via a public statement during the two-hour reporting window.
