The IDF says it launched a new pinpoint raid against Hamas in Gaza City’s Sabra neighborhood this past week.
The operation is being carried out by the Multi-Domain, or Ghost Unit, alongside the Carmeli and Yiftah reserve brigades, under the 99th Division.
Troops of the elite Ghost Unit, alongside other forces, killed dozens of gunmen and demolished a weapons depot in Sabra over the past two days, the IDF says.
The military says troops also located weapons and many tunnel shafts during sweeps of the area.
The IDF first operated in the Sabra neighborhood during the beginning of the ground offensive last year.
