As part of operational activity in northern Gaza, the “Egoz” special forces unit carried out raids on terrorist targets in the Shati area in the heart of Gaza City.
During the activity, guided by precise intelligence, the forces raided strategic Hamas targets and destroyed terrorist infrastructure.
Additionally, using high-quality intelligence, the forces directed fire from the air to strike booby-trapped buildings which posed a danger to the soldiers, as well as strikes on terrorists and stockpiles of weapons used by Hamas terrorists.
Soldiers from the unit located many weapons, including ammunition, explosive belts, and grenades.
Earlier on Thursday, an IDF UAV targeted armed terrorists who approached IDF troops and struck an observation post that posed a threat to IDF troops using precise munitions.
In addition, an IDF UAV and tanks eliminated a number of terrorist cells in northern Gaza, with the direction of IDF ground troops. IDF soldiers also located a tunnel shaft inside a mosque.
