On the 61st day of the Swords of Iron war, in the shadow of the entry of IDF forces deep into Khan Yunis, the IDF spokesman publishes the words of the commander of the Southern Command, Major General Yaron Finkelman, in his assessment of the situation in the southern Gaza Strip: "The fighting in Khan Yunis is a major effort. We are pushing forward against the targets at the front."

From the words of the commander of the Southern Command, Major General Yaron Finkelman: "The fighting in Khan Yunis is a major effort, I get the impression that it is well managed - that they control it, that they are pushing forward. There are valuable goals here, we will go with it. Continue to establish them. We will pour in what is needed, and push forward all the time facing the goals that are identified here in front of us."

As a reminder, the commander of the Southern Command said last night: "We are in the core of Jabaliya, in the core of Shejaiya, and starting tonight also in the core of Khan Yunis. We are in the most intense day since the beginning of the maneuver - in terms of terrorists killed, the number of encounters and the use of fire from the ground and from the air. We intend to continue to attack and deepen the achievement."

In recent days, IDF fighters have been operating in the heart of the terror strongholds of the terrorist organization Hamas in Jabaliya and Shejaiya and conducting battles with its terrorists. In these areas, the two frontline divisions of the Southern Command, Division 162 and Division 36, which lead the fighting in the Gaza Strip, are operating.
