Overnight, dozens of terror operatives were killed in ambushes led by the IDF’s 162nd Division in northern Gaza’s Jabalia, the military says.
According to the IDF, troops spotted and killed “many dozens of terrorists” in Jabalia with gunfire and tank shelling.
The IDF says troops of the 401st Armored Brigade, Givati Infantry Brigade, and the elite Multidomain Unit had been waiting in ambushes overnight, following intelligence on plans by operatives to flee the area.
“Many terrorist squads were eliminated in ambushes by the forces, after they were seen fleeing with weapons in their hands,” the military says, releasing footage showing armed operatives running.
