The IDF’s 98th Division has withdrawn from southern Gaza’s Khan Younis after operating there for just over a week, the military says.
Amid the operation, the IDF says that troops with the division killed over 150 terror operatives. The division also demolished tunnels and other sites used by Hamas, and recovered the bodies of five hostages.
Meanwhile, a prominent Hamas commander responsible for anti-tank fire in the terror group’s Nuseirat Battalion was killed in a drone strike, the IDF says.
Additionally, reservists with the 252nd Division operating in the Netzarim Corridor area killed several gunmen during raids on Hamas sites, the military adds.
