IDF troops this past week demolished an entire neighborhood in northern Gaza, close to Beit Hanoun, which the military says had been used as a hideout and command center by senior Hamas commanders.
The military says the “officers’ neighborhood” had high-rise buildings overlooking the Sderot area of southern Israel, that served as a “central terror complex” with anti-tank firing positions, booby traps, and tunnels.
The neighborhood also had rocket launchers aimed at Israel, the IDF says.
The IDF says combat engineers destroyed the entire complex and the terror infrastructure it housed this past week.
