As part of an operation to counter terrorism in Hebron under the command of the Yehuda Brigade, IDF forces located an underground space yesterday (Sunday) near the house of one of the terrorists from the weekend clashes.
The excavation was located during thorough scans of more than 500 locations as part of the operation that began after the weekend (Friday) encounter in Hebron, in which Sergeant Ron Yonatan Roitman, the late, and Sergeant Yuval Shay Soulem, the late, fell and three other fighters were slightly injured.
The forces continue to operate to continue thorough searches, arresting suspects, confiscating weapons and illegal vehicles.
A preliminary investigation by the forces reveals that it is an excavation without an exit and its investigation is being continued by professional officials. This is an excavation about 15 meters deep and about 75 centimeters wide, we emphasize that it is inside the city of Hebron and without any proximity to an Israeli settlement.
