In precise, intelligence-based operational activity, the combat teams of the Commando Brigade, the 401st Brigade and the Yahalom Unit under the command of the 162nd Division, conducted a targeted operation on an outpost and underground production site belonging to the Islamic Jihad terrorist organization in the Tel al-Sultan area in Rafah.

The troops located the Islamic Jihad’s largest underground site for the production of rocket parts and long-range rockets in Gaza.

During the operation, Commando and Yahalom soldiers operated simultaneously above and below ground to eliminate terrorists with drones and precise missiles.

The Islamic Jihad terrorist organization has manufactured hundreds of rockets at this site over the past few years.

The destruction of the outpost and the underground production site damages the Islamic Jihad’s ability to produce and fire rockets at Israeli civilians and communities.
