The Bislamach Brigade — the IDF’s School for Infantry Corps Professions and Squad Commanders in wartime — has killed more than 100 gunmen in the Khan Younis suburbs of al-Qarara and Abasan, the IDF says.
The IDF says the brigade carried out dozens of operations in the area, in southern Gaza, mainly targeting Hamas sites close to the Israeli border.
The troops killed over 100 operatives with sniper fire, mortars, tank shelling, and by calling in airstrikes, the IDF says.
The IDF also says the troops seized firearms and other military equipment.
