Most troops out of Gaza, says IDF
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleLt. Col. Peter Lerner, an Israeli military spokesman, confirms that the bulk of ground troops have been pulled out of Gaza after the military concludes it had destroyed most of the tunnel network.
He says Israel has detected some 30 tunnels that were dug along the border for what he called a “synchronized attack” on Israel.
“We’ve caused substantial damage to this network to an extent where we’ve basically taken this huge threat and made it minimal,” he says. The army had thousands of troops in Gaza at the height of the operation.
