Fighters deep in the Strip continue to uncover tunnels and shafts, in the pursuit of finding the hidden door or the "opening floor", which will lead them to senior Hamas officials and hostages. The most difficult maneuver in the Gaza Strip was carried out by the Brigade Combat Team (BCT) of Givat under the command of Col.

Liron Batito. Since the beginning of the fighting, about 500 terrorists have been transferred from the combat zone of the Givatiya TDF for interrogation in Israel.
