Over the past two weeks, the IDF says the Nahal Infantry Brigade killed more than 250 Hamas operatives in the central Gaza Strip, in gun battles and by calling in tank shelling and airstrikes.

The Nahal Brigade is operating in the so-called Netzarim Corridor, which crosses Gaza from the Be’eri area to the coast. The corridor enabled the IDF to carry out raids in northern and central Gaza.

Nahal troops with the 601st Combat Engineering Battalion have destroyed numerous Hamas assets in the area in recent weeks, including rockets, launchers, and weapons depots, the IDF says.
