For the first time since 2005, the IDF’s Kfir Infantry Brigade is operating in the Gaza Strip, during its first-ever ground maneuver.

In a statement, the IDF says during the brigade’s operations, it has discovered some 30 Hamas tunnel shafts and directed around 100 artillery strikes against the terror group’s sites.

The brigade’s combat team in Gaza consists of its Haruv reconnaissance unit and 94th “Duchifat” Battalion, alongside reservist tank forces from the Kiryati Brigade, combat engineers, and artillery forces.
