IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari says the military has deployed an additional brigade to southern Gaza’s Khan Younis.
“In southern Gaza, in the Khan Younis area, we are expanding our operations, and deepening it. We added a full brigade and additional combat engineering forces for operations in the area, to improve our operations,” Hagari says.
On Hamas’s vast tunnel network and other infrastructure that the IDF is working to destroy, Hagari says, “We must dismantle Hamas, and it will take as long as needed.”
