IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari says ground forces have been operating deeper in Gaza City in the last few hours.

Hagari says the IDF is “deepening the pressure on Gaza City,” where Hamas’s main stronghold is believed to be.

He says the IDF killed several Hamas field commanders during overnight airstrikes and operations, which “significantly harms Hamas’s ability to carry out counterattacks.”

On Hamas’s tunnel network, Hagari says combat engineering forces are demolishing each and every tunnel they come across using “different and diverse devices.”
