The IDF says troops of the Nahal Brigade have killed several Hamas operatives during battles in northern Gaza’s Jabaliya over the last day.

It says the Hamas gunmen were killed in close-quarters combat, tank shelling and drone strikes.

The IDF says the troops found Hamas weaponry, including sniper rifles, explosives, anti-tank missiles, rockets and tunnels, during operations in a mosque and school in Jabaliya. Near the school, a number of rocket launchers were found, it says.

While the Nahal troops fight in Jabaliya, hundreds of conscripts are being drafted to the brigade. The IDF says that they will join the forces in Gaza at the end of their training period.
