An IDF spokesperson said that Golani's divisional combat team is fighting in the Kasbah of Shejaiya and fierce battles continue to take place from civilian and underground infrastructure. The division commander told the fighting forces: "Golani like Golani, commanders from the front - charging forward and leaving no one behind"
For about a week now, the fighters of the Golani Brigade's combat team and its commanders have been fighting deep in the Shejaiya area of Gaza City. In recent days, the brigade has been attacking terrorist infrastructures in the Kasbah of Shejaiya. The attack is an advanced step in the effort to cleanse the neighborhood of terrorists from the Hamas terrorist organization and negate the organization's capabilities. It was also noted that the Kasbah is a dense and complex space to maneuver, the Hamas terrorists operate out of civilian infrastructure and the neighborhood is saturated with underground infrastructure.
As part of the attack, the fighters of the brigade combat team encountered terrorists who threw explosives at the force and fired at them from a residential building that was underground. The commanders in the field showed courage and composure, commanded from the front, and jumped to help and rescue the wounded warriors. As part of the heroic battle, some of the commanders and fighters who came to help and rescue the force in the building were killed. Last night, at the end of the event, the commander of Division 36 held a situation assessment with the commanders of the Golani brigade combat team.
As it was published, last night in the battles in Shejaiya, the forces encountered terrorists who threw grenades at them and started shooting, and an explosive device that exploded hit four fighters who were inside the building. Because of fear of kidnapping, three of Golani's brigades jumped into the combat zone, and then the disaster happened. The building where Tomer Grinberg commander of the 13th Brigade and his team were, was blown up by a large explosive killed several fighters. Another bomb also hit the rescuers from 669, a total of nine soldiers and officers fell in the battle.
