Defense Minister Israel Katz publishes footage of what he says are Hamas operatives surrendering to IDF troops in northern Gaza’s Beit Hanoun.
“Hamas terrorists are surrendering in Beit Hanoun. They are emerging from the burrows into the destroyed city. The IDF is destroying both the above and the underground [infrastructure] to defend the city of Sderot,” he says on X.
