As the forces advanced in the area, terrorist squads opened fire with small arms and RPGs in order to prevent the entry of the forces.
At the same time, the terrorists blew up the tunnel shafts in an attempt to prevent the force from penetrating the subsoil.
Battles were held in the area against a large number of terrorists.
The fighters returned fire and eliminated the terrorists at close range, with machine gun fire, tank shell fire and air support.

The commander of Battalion 603, Lt. Col. Gilad, told his soldiers in a connection just before the tunnel explosion: "For the last month and a half we have been fighting against Hamas in Khan Yunis. We have lost friends and wounded many of our fighters. We are destroying an infrastructure that was used by Hamas to manufacture missiles and fire against the State of Israel and its residents This infrastructure is linked to schools, something that characterizes our enemy and reinforces the difference between us and them. We will continue to pursue and hit the enemy as much as necessary."
