Dozens of gunmen have been killed by IDF troops during a new operation in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis, the IDF says.
The offensive in Khan Younis was launched yesterday after the IDF said it identified Hamas regrouping there, three months after the army withdrew from the city in southern Gaza.
The IDF says troops with the 98th Division have been operating against Hamas above and below ground during the first 24 hours of the operation.
Dozens of gunmen have been killed by troops in clashes, tank shelling and by calling in airstrikes, the military adds.
