Troops of the Nahal Infantry Brigade killed a gunman in a close-quarters battle deep in Gaza City, the military says.

The IDF says the Nahal Brigade has advanced further into Gaza City in recent days, amid an ongoing offensive against Hamas.

In addition to killing the gunman, the military says the Nahal troops located numerous weapons and military equipment, including IDF uniforms and destroyed a compound used by terror operatives, which resulted in a rocket being fired from the site.
