Israeli Air Force Targets Hamas's Hidden Explosive Devices
(Ynet News) Yoav Zitun - Moments before Israeli Merkava tanks risked encountering a massive explosive device at a street junction in central Gaza City, an Apache helicopter intervened, triggering an explosion. Dozens of airstrikes targeted explosive booby traps identified overnight, many hidden in rubble, high-rise floors or walls, camouflaged to evade detection. Hamas is using hidden cameras for remote detonation and is focusing on explosive devices due to depleted anti-tank missiles and sniper ammunition stocks. The ground operations in Gaza City saw minimal initial resistance. Unlike the previous operation, where troops hesitated to dismount armored vehicles, this time, the infantry moved on foot from the start.
