IDF Finds Terrorists in Khan Yunis
(Ynet News) Yoav Zitun - According to the IDF, the mission in southern Gaza is significantly different from that in the north, focusing on reaching the Hamas terrorist leaders, hiding deep underground. Therefore, the task is slower, with the safety of soldiers taking priority over speed. Forces in the field emphasize that cooperation with the Israeli Air Force is continuous and precise, alongside a more selective and efficient use of tank shells to avoid civilian casualties and any wasting of ammunition, but firing tank shells against any identified threat - without limitations. Col. Oded Ziman of the 55th reservist brigade said: "The brigade launched an attack on the strongholds in Khan Yunis where the enemy was entrenched, eliminating many terrorists, striking terror infrastructure both underground and above ground, and capturing terrorists who provided crucial intelligence in interrogations. The collaboration between the Israeli Air Force and ground forces is exceptional; I have never dreamed of such effective and rapid cooperation. Just this morning, I needed fire, and within two minutes, a colleague from Military Intelligence contacted me and we launched the airstrike."
