The IDF releases footage and details recent operations carried out by the 99th Division in the central Gaza Strip.
The division’s main objective is to hold a “corridor” splitting Gaza in two, preventing Hamas operatives and weaponry from crossing from the southern part of the Strip to its north.
The IDF says the division has also killed many Hamas gunmen and raided the terror group’s sites in the area.
In one operation, carried out by the 646th Reserve Paratroopers Brigade, the IDF says troops discovered a rocket manufacturing plant in the Nuseirat area.
In another operation, reservists of the Yiftah Brigade raided a Hamas bank in central Gaza, where some NIS 100,000 in cash and intelligence documents were seized from an underground vault, according to the IDF.
The IDF says the division’s 179th Reserve Armored Brigade killed hundreds of Hamas gunmen in recent weeks, destroyed several major Hamas tunnels, seized weapons, and demolished the terror group’s sites.
