IDF Expanding Operations in Northern Gaza
(Ynet News) Yoav Zitun - The IDF expanded its operations in northern Gaza to more areas that are considered Hamas strongholds, including Zeitun in the center of Gaza City and the Jabalia refugee camp. The forces first enter the areas forcefully and quickly using bulldozers and tanks along with infantry and supported by aircraft and artillery barrages. Then they clear the area from the terrorists who survived the initial stages, locate tunnel shafts and weapons caches there, as well as intelligence material that is invaluable in identifying targets. At the same time the troops continue their slow operations against Hamas underground facilities. The IDF has indications of large spaces underground, including some several stories high, where weapons are produced and command centers are located.
