The Israel Defense Forces says fighting has continued overnight and this morning in northern Gaza’s Shejaiya and Jabaliya, and in Khan Younis in the south.
The military has taken out “many terrorists” in the north over the past day. In one case, armored troops identified Hamas operatives tracking them, shot toward them and killed them. In another, forces raided a school compound from which Hamas gunmen had shot toward soldiers, killed the operatives, and eliminated “terror infrastructure” found in the school.
In Khan Younis, troops from the Maglan unit raided several locations and found weapons, including grenades and Kalashnikov rifles. Soldiers also destroyed two tunnels shafts, an arms warehouse and a rocket launching pit.
In Shejaiya, fighters from the Armored Corps’ 460th Brigade found weapons and killed terror operatives in several incidents. Soldiers from the Border Defense Corps’ 414th Combat Intelligence Collection unit observed a Hamas sniper shooting toward troops, and directed a chopper to strike the building from which he was shooting, killing him.
The IDF airs footage from the fighting.
Bridging the US-Israel divide
While the heart of The Times of Israel’s work takes place in Israel, so many of Jerusalem’s actions are influenced by those in Washington’s halls of power.
As ToI’s US bureau chief, I work to gain access to decision-makers in the United States government so our readers can understand the US-Israel relationship beyond the platitudes evident in public statements.
I'm proud of our ability to inform without sensationalizing, our dedication to be fast while ensuring accuracy, and our determination to present Israel's entire, complex story.
Your support through The Times of Israel Community helps us continue to keep readers around the world properly informed about the critical Israel-US relationship. Do you appreciate our news coverage? If so, please join the ToI Community today.
