Soldiers from the Yahalom unit along with additional troops, under the command of the 188th Brigade, began an intelligence-guided operation during which they located the underground terrorist infrastructure — approximately one kilometer in length and situated about 25 meters deep.
Within the infrastructure, the soldiers located living quarters, bathrooms, a small kitchen, blast-proof doors, and several exit shafts. Upon completing their investigation of the site, the troops proceeded to dismantle the infrastructure.
During the operation, the troops entered additional terrorist infrastructure sites in the area, where they located weapons and military equipment. All the weapons were dismantled.
