In the last few days, in multi-armed combat, the fighters of the 188th Brigade's combat team together with the fighters of the 13th Fleet, achieved operational control over the central stronghold of Gaza, which was controlled by the terrorist organization Hamas.
In the combined raid of the navy, armor and engineering forces along with the air force, about ten tunnel shafts were destroyed, and four buildings that constitute terrorist infrastructure were destroyed. The forces eliminated 10 terrorists and cleared all the buildings in the area of the anchorage.
In addition, the fighters closed a circle and blew up a monument glorifying the Marmara events. Some of the fighters of the Shayetet 13 who took part in taking over the anchorage also fought on the Marmara some 13 years ago.
The terrorist organization Hamas used the anchorage as a training facility for the naval forces for terrorist purposes and to direct and carry out naval attacks. Under the cover of a civilian naval anchorage, Hamas took advantage of the place for training and carrying out terrorism, using civilian vessels and Gaza's naval police vessels.
