IDF Advances in Khan Yunis

(Ynet News) Yoav Zitun - IDF forces advanced in the Khan Yunis region on Sunday, conducted a raid on the office of the Khan Yunis Brigade commander, targeted terrorist infrastructure and subterranean tunnels, and secured control of Bani Suheila Square at the heart of Khan Yunis. "In the past week, 7th Brigade troops eliminated numerous terrorists, located approximately 30 tunnel shafts, and destroyed numerous anti-tank and lookout posts in the area. They also confiscated grenades and anti-tank missiles and found intelligence materials including phones, computers and Hamas guidebooks," the IDF said. The 7th Brigade commander said, "There are terrorists and armaments in every home here, and in some locations we found military diving gear, including wetsuits. In other locations, we found considerable digging equipment and even a GoPro used by a terrorist who took part in the Oct. 7 massacre." The combat in Khan Yunis, the second-largest city in Gaza, presented unique challenges compared to the deserted streets of Gaza City in the north. "We raided the home of terrorists and in the basement we have found three Hamas operatives hiding among 20 civilians, 15 of them children." "These are complex dilemmas, but our troops are well-trained and strong....They know they are fighting a just war and making history....We will not stop until we eliminate Hamas."
