The Israel Defense Forces says troops of its 551st Reserve Brigade are still fighting in the Beit Hanoun area of northern Gaza, while locating weaponry within civilian sites.

The IDF says the troops found and destroyed ammunition and explosive devices in a kindergarten, as well as several tunnels inside residential buildings, and military compounds.

It says troops also recovered maps and intelligence materials from Hamas military sites.

The IDF says the 551st Brigade has also killed numerous Hamas operatives during the last two weeks of fighting in the area.
