IDF says forces in Gaza destroy command center for Hamas Shejaiya battalion

The IDF says its forces in Gaza have captured and destroyed the command center for Hamas’s Shejaiya battalion, in northern Gaza.

The soldiers killed gunmen and destroyed a tunnel shaft at the scene, as a gunman inside attempted to throw an explosive device at the forces. The operation was backed up by tank fire, artillery fire and air force strikes, according to the army.

Meanwhile, it says forces operating in Khan Younis in the south tackled terror infrastructure, including numerous tunnel shafts, and killed “many” gunmen there. They also located a tunnel within which were motorcycles used by terrorists during the October 7 attack on Israel.
