The IDF says it has wrapped up its operation against Hamas in the Hamad Town residential complex in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis.
The raid, which began earlier this month, was carried out by the Maglan and Egoz commando units, along with other forces.
The commandos had raided the multistory buildings in the Qatari-funded neighborhood, where the IDF said there was Hamas infrastructure.
In one building, used by the deputy commander of a Hamas battalion in Khan Younis, the IDF says the troops captured a cache of weapons.
More than 100 gunmen were killed in the operation, and buildings used by Hamas, including some that were booby-trapped, were destroyed, according to the IDF.
The IDF releases footage showing troops of the Egoz unit operating in Hamad amid the raid.
