The Israel Defense Forces' 99th Division has concluded its combat operations in the northern Gaza Strip after a four-month mission east of the "Yellow Line." The operation's primary objective was to disrupt Hamas's efforts to rebuild its military capabilities and coordinate its cells. Control of the sector has now been transferred to the 162nd Division, which will continue ongoing combat operations.
During the four months of intense activity, engineering and infantry units neutralized approximately eight kilometers of Hamas's underground tunnel network. These tunnels were used for covert movement, ambushes, and weapons storage and have been rendered unusable through engineering efforts following detailed reconnaissance. In addition to the subterranean infrastructure, Israeli forces destroyed dozens of surface-level terrorist targets, including a command and control post used to coordinate armed groups and fortified structures used for planning attacks.
The division's soldiers eliminated over 100 terrorists. Among those killed were individuals directly involved in the October 7, 2023 attacks and those who participated in holding hostages. Other eliminated terrorists included sapper units attempting to plant explosives targeting IDF armored vehicles.
The IDF released video and photographic evidence showcasing the 99th Division's engineers locating and destroying the underground corridors. The military emphasized that the handover to the 162nd Division ensures sustained pressure on remaining Hamas elements in northern Gaza.
