After a series of Palestinian reports, the IDF confirmed that last night (Sunday) Division 98 units launched an extensive attack in western Khan Yunis, while destroying terrorist infrastructure and eliminating Hamas terrorists operating from civilian facilities in the heart of the city.
The operation began when IAF fighter jets attacked about 50 terrorist targets in just six minutes with the help of artillery forces. Among the targets were: underground infrastructures, military buildings, anti-tank firing positions, booby-trapped buildings, and gathering points of terrorists who posed a threat to forces in the area.
The extensive airstrike was designed to create favorable conditions for the ground forces. When it was over, the brigade began a surprise assault on the area, during which soldiers raided and eliminated terrorists.
Over the past day, the Nahal Brigade eliminated dozens of terrorists in the central area of the Gaza Strip, also confiscating weapons. In one of the operations, soldiers detected a terrorist squad moving in its direction and directed an aircraft to destroy it.
