The Israel Defense Forces’ 7th Armored Brigade advanced deeper into southern Gaza over the weekend.
The Israel Defense Forces advanced deeper into southern Gaza Saturday, raiding Hamas sites in Khan Younis and uncovering “documents of great value” from the terror group’s headquarters, the military confirmed on X.
The IDF’s 7th Armored Brigade also uncovered a command center of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad – an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood – in the city, the military said on X.
While the Israeli military concentrated increased resources on the campaign in southern Gaza, efforts also continued to disable Hamas in the north.
Forces in Gaza City took out dozens of Hamas operatives over the last day, the Times of Israel reported Saturday.
“The fighters are conducting fierce battles against terrorists, the Air Force is attacking terrorist units and infrastructure under the direction of the forces, and the Marine Corps fighters are assisting the forces maneuvering in the Gaza Strip with attacks and fire from the sea,” the IDF wrote on X, alongside videos and photo of the military operating throughout the small region.
On Friday, the IDF shared footage of the tunnels of Hamas general headquarters unearthed in one of leader Yahya Sinwar’s “hideout apartments” in northern Gaza, according to a post on X.
“Part of a long and branching tunnel network, the tunnel shaft in the apartment led to a 218 meter long tunnel, with a depth of about 20 meters,” the military wrote alongside photos of the shaft.
“Inside these tunnels, Senior Hamas officials were living comfortably with an electricity network, ventilation and sewage infrastructure, prayer rooms and resting rooms,” the post added.
