The IDF continues to deepen its activities in the Gaza Strip alongside many obstacles placed by Hamas all along the way. Testimony from a fighter indicates that Hamas also uses, among other things, female suicide bombers.
"Hamas is using female suicide bombers against us dressed in traditional Muslim clothing. They are covered from head to toe and under the clothing they have an explosive belt," it was revealed in Maariv.
"Anyone who wasn't inside doesn't understand what we're dealing with. There's very heavy fighting here in a built-up area, and you can't know where a Hamas 'surprise' will pop up, when at the same time we're trying to locate abductees," said the fighter.
Earlier today, an IDF spokesman released a document showing soldiers from the Yahalom unit and engineering forces locating a bomb that had been planted inside a clinic near a school in the heart of the Shejaiya neighborhood.
Also, as part of the activity of the patrol battalion 6551 under the command of the 261st brigade in the 162nd division in the neighborhoods of El Atatra and Jabalia, sites for the production of munitions and a warehouse containing a large stockpile of munitions were uncovered. The soldiers of the battalion located in the building missiles and rockets, explosives, charges and a truck intended for transporting them to the launchers.
