IDF Advances in Khan Yunis


(Ynet News) Yoav Zitun - The IDF announced Saturday a reduction in the Al Mawasi humanitarian zone due to "significant terrorist activity and rocket fire toward the State of Israel" from the southern neighborhoods of Khan Yunis. The army informed residents that staying in these areas has become dangerous. The zone hosts one of the last three battalions of Hamas. The other two are in Deir al-Balah and Nuseirat in central Gaza. IDF troops have been conducting targeted raids in Khan Yunis, uncovering numerous weapons. "Among the weapons found were shoulder-fired missiles, grenades, AK-47 rifles and additional military equipment. During one of the raids, a terrorist cell was identified launching rockets.

Forces also destroyed a launch site in the Zeitoun area that was prepared for firing rockets at Israel.
