(Ynet News) Yoav Zitun - For years, Israeli border communities faced Hamas anti-tank, sniper, and mortar fire from Gaza neighborhoods. In recent days, IDF forces have been finalizing the demolition of thousands of Palestinian houses which enabled hostile fire on Israeli communities. The demolition includes eastern areas of Shijaiyah opposite Nahal Oz and Kfar Aza, the eastern neighborhood of Beit Hanoun facing Sderot, and the northern parts of Beit Hanoun opposite Netiv HaAsara. Similar operations are planned in other parts of Gaza facing Israeli communities. Each structure was scrutinized and identified as a Hamas military target. The aim of the operation is to facilitate the safe return of Israeli residents to their homes, eliminating the need to confront nearby threats.
