Israeli forces operating in central Gaza have dismantled two tunnel routes used for terrorist activity, the military said on Sunday.

Troops from the Kfir Infantry Brigade, under the Gaza Division, located and destroyed the tunnels east of the ceasefire-established Yellow Line, the Israel Defense Forces said. The tunnels measured a combined length of about 2 kilometers (1.2 miles).

The Yellow Line runs through the Strip, with the IDF holding about 54% of the territory, east of the line.

Weapons, including rockets and explosive devices, as well as several hideouts, were found inside the tunnels and in the surrounding area, according to the IDF.

The military said forces will continue operations in the area under the Southern Command in line with the framework of the ceasefire agreement, aiming to eliminate immediate threats.
