Over the past week, the IDF says, the Gaza Division’s Northern Brigade and the Kfir Brigade’s Netzah Yehuda Battalion operated in the Beit Hanoun area in the northern part of the Strip.
Amid the “targeted” operation, troops destroyed dozens of sites, including buildings, used by Hamas and other terror groups, according to the IDF.
The IDF says the Netzah Yehuda troops also encountered and killed a Hamas cell that came out of a tunnel in the Beit Hanoun area during the operation.
Among the gunmen that were killed was a Hamas company commander, the IDF says.
The Netzah Yehuda Battalion is made up of ultra-Orthodox and religious troops, and is normally deployed to the West Bank.
