Israeli Forces Intensify Operations Against Hamas in Gaza’s Shejaya Area
By Yoni Weiss
Israeli troops continued pressing military operations against Hamas in northern Gaza’s Shejaya area, the IDF said on Sunday.
Over the past day, troops eliminated several terrorists, located weapons, and conducted targeted raids on booby-trapped combat compounds. The Air Force also struck dozens of Hamas infrastructure sites.
Dozens of Hamas terrorists were killed in close-quarters combat and airstrikes, and several tunnel shafts were dismantled over the weekend.
Soldiers encircled a civilian area in Shejaya that Hamas had converted into a compound. Troops located observation posts, weapons, aerial drones, and a long-range rocket launcher near Shejaya schools.
Elsewhere in Gaza, Israeli forces struck and dismantled a mortar post located inside a tunnel shaft in the southern Gaza town of Rafah.
