The IDF destroyed a lathe used by Hamas to produce weapons and a concrete factory used to produce concrete for tunnels in Khan Yunis in southern Gaza, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit said on Monday.

The combat team of the 4th Brigade has operated in recent weeks to clear areas of Khan Yunis and establish an operation hold on the area. The soldiers have carried out precision raids, eliminating dozens of terrorists and destroying about 100 terrorist targets.
