The IDF says it has killed more than 170 gunmen and captured 800 terror suspects during its ongoing operation against Hamas at Gaza City’s Shifa Hospital.
Also amid the raid at Shifa, which began early Monday and is being carried out by the Navy’s Shayetet 13 commando unit and the 401st Armored Brigade, the IDF says troops located infrastructure belonging to terror groups and caches of weapons.
Meanwhile, over the past day, the Israeli Air Force struck some 35 sites across the Gaza Strip, including command rooms and other infrastructure belongs to terror groups, the IDF says.
In central Gaza, the IDF says troops of the Nahal Brigade killed some 15 terror operatives during “intense fighting” over the past day.
In southern Gaza’s al-Qarara, the IDF says the 7th Armored Brigade directed airstrikes on two operatives and a building used by Hamas, during its ongoing operations in the area, close to Khan Younis.
