The IDF says the Paratroopers Brigade is advancing in the al-Amal neighborhood of Khan Younis, killing numerous Hamas operatives in the process.
According to the IDF, the neighborhood is a major Hamas stronghold, where troops have so far located weapons and dozens of sites belonging to the terror group, including tunnel shafts, observation posts, and weapons manufacturing plants.
As the Paratroopers Brigade advanced in the area, the soldiers encountered several Hamas cells attempting to open fire and place explosive devices, the IDF says.
The IDF says the brigade’s forces killed numerous gunmen in close-quarters combat, with sniper fire, with mortar shelling, and by directing airstrikes.
Also amid the paratroopers’ operations, soldiers raided several Hamas sites where the terror group hid money, including the offices of an exchange store, and seized more than NIS 3 million in cash, the IDF says.
