Over the past week, more than 150 terror operatives were killed during an operation in Gaza City, the IDF says.
The raid, launched earlier this month, is being led by the 99th Division, with the Alexandroni, 8th, and Commando brigades, and elite Multi-Domain Unit.
During the first week of the operation, troops had raided UNRWA’s headquarters, where Hamas had regrouped.
In recent operations, the IDF says the troops raided several multi-story buildings in Gaza City where Hamas operatives were holed up.
The forces located weapons, equipment belonging to Hamas’s naval forces, and intelligence materials, the army says.
In addition to the estimated 150 gunmen, the IDF says troops demolished more than 100 sites belonging to terror groups and located an underground weapons manufacturing site.
