The IDF releases footage of the Navy’s Shayetet 13 and the Maglan commando unit operating in the Hamad Town residential complex in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis.
The troops have been raiding the multi-story buildings in the Qatari-funded neighborhood, where the IDF says there is Hamas infrastructure.
According to the IDF, the commandos have seized dozens of firearms and killed numerous gunmen in fighting in Hamad, including with sniper fire and by calling in airstrikes.
Recently, two Hamas armed gunmen surrendered to troops in Hamad, the IDF says. Hundreds more operatives have been captured in recent days.
