Late Sunday afternoon (Oct. 29) the IDF continued to attack and eliminate terrorists in Gaza, including several who emerged from a tunnel near the Erez Crossing — the second such battle to take place in less than a day.
IDF soldiers operating near the Erez crossing identified a number of terrorists who had emerged from a tunnel shaft in Gaza near the crossing in the afternoon hours. The forces engaged in a battle with the emerging terrorists, killing several and injuring others.
