Israeli reservists and combat soldiers uncovered and destroyed underground tunnels going through a home in a civilian area of Beit Hanun, on the northeast edge of the Strip, the IDF said Tuesday.
One of the reservists who took part in the operation was the nephew of former Sha'ar Hanegev Regional Council head Ofir Libstein, who was one of the first victims of the October 7 massacre.
The IDF said that his nephew wished to "dedicate the explosion" and the destruction of the tunnels to Libstein, "as an act of defense for our nation," he was quoted by the military as saying.
