The military says it has established “operational control” over the east Bureij and east Deir al-Balah areas in the central Gaza Strip today, after launching a new operation in the area yesterday.
Troops of the 7th Armored Brigade and Kfir Infantry Brigade killed several gunmen in battles and by calling in airstrikes, and also located tunnel shafts, the IDF says.
Hours into the operation, the IDF says troops located a mortar launcher hidden in a small structure with a United Nations logo on it.
