On the 66th day of the Swords of Iron War, the IDF fighters continue to deepen their grip on the Gaza Strip and dismantle the terror organization Hamas. Today (Monday) the IDF spokesman publishes a document of the Nahal Brigade fighters having found during an activity in Jabalia, an RPG training facility and many weapons inside a mosque.
An IDF spokesperson stated: "During the activities of the fighters of the Nahal Brigade's combat team, the fighters located a training facility for RPG shooting that was hidden inside a mosque in the heart of a civilian neighborhood and contained many weapons - grenades, cartridges and weapons of various types. Some of the weapons were found in bags belonging to a civilian organization operating in the Gaza Strip."
As a reminder, it was published earlier today that it was reported in the Wall Street Journal that about 200 Hamas fighters managed to escape from Shifa Hospital to the south of the Gaza Strip.
According to the report, which was brought in Maariv, during the large and thorough operation carried out by Israel in the hospital which became a center of terrorism, the fighters did not succeed in capturing and completely destroying all its targets. It seems that the IDF was forced to allow a large number of Hamas terrorists to escape from the hospital, and it is estimated that they managed to reach the southern Gaza Strip.
According to the sources who spoke with the newspaper, the reason for this may have been to avoid a massacre inside the hospital - in addition to the terrible price in human life, there would also have been a heavy political price from Israel - or to maintain the possibility of reaching an agreement to release the hostages.
