Israel Traps Terrorists in Northern Gaza
(Jerusalem Post) Avi Ashkenazi - The IDF said Monday that within hours in a single night a week ago, it had trapped hundreds of terrorists inside Jabalya in northern Gaza, including senior operatives. The IDF encircled the area, evacuated the civilian population, isolated the terrorists, and prevented them from escaping. Some 600 terrorists surrendered, while hundreds of others were eliminated. At Kamal Adwan Hospital in Jabalya, which served as a Hamas command center, 60 terrorists surrendered and 20 were eliminated. Terrorists were hiding in the hospital wards and were using patients as human shields. The IDF estimated that only a few hundred terrorists remained in Jabalya.
