The IDF releases new footage from the operations of the Egoz commando unit in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis.
In one encounter, the IDF says Egoz troops using a drone spotted two gunmen hiding in a building. Following a lengthy gun battle, during which troops attempted to flush the suspects out of the structure with explosives, the two operatives were killed.
In another similar incident, Egoz troops spotted several Hamas operatives opening fire at them from a building and killed them following a gun battle, the IDF says.
In the building, the IDF says the soldiers found a cache of weapons.
