Israeli forces are still finding terrorists in Israeli territory from Hamas’s murderous invasion of southern Israel on October 7.
Yesterday, a member of Hamas’s so-called Nukhba commando forces was captured by Israeli forces while attempting to return to the Gaza Strip.
He was described to reporters as being “exhausted” after spending more than two weeks in Israel.
Meanwhile, the military is expected to further ramp up strikes in the Gaza Strip to ensure a safer entry for forces during the upcoming ground offensive.
Strikes in recent days have included targeting high-rise buildings that are allegedly being used by Hamas as sniper positions.
