Forces of the 162nd Division are operating in the Jabaliya area, after having completed the encirclement of the refugee camp. Over the last few days, forces have operated near Hamas bastions in the area and destroyed terror infrastructures. They destroyed infrastructures, located weapons and launchers in civilian buildings, and directed air strikes against terrorists.
The Air Force also worked in coordination with the Paratrooper Brigade to strike Nukhba terrorist locations last night (Monday), eliminating Hamas terrorists. As part of their activity, soldiers located and destroyed rockets in a courtyard of a home in the north of the Strip.
In a joint operation with the Shin Bet, reserve forces of the 551st brigade and Israel’s Navy SEAL team Shayetet 13 raided the war room of Hamas’ General Security body in Jabaliya. The war room contained observation and control means, as well as weapons and maps.
Navy forces also struck dozens of operational targets in the Gaza Strip to aid the forces operating on land. Among the targets being struck were structures used by the terrorists to fight IDF soldiers and fire mortar rounds.
