The Israel Defense Forces says troops of its Harel Reserve Brigade have captured the “al-Karameh area” — apparently named after a local hospital — between Beit Hanoun and Jabaliya, in the northern Gaza Strip.

According to the IDF, during the raids, the troops destroyed Hamas infrastructure in the area, including long-range rocket launchers aimed at Israel, anti-tank missile launch positions, tunnels, and observation posts.

The Harel Brigade troops also killed several Hamas operatives during the fighting.
