WhatsappThe IDF’s operation against Hamas at Gaza City’s Shifa Hospital continues, with the military saying troops killed dozens of gunmen and captured weapons over the past day.
The raid at Shifa, which began early March 18, is being carried out by the Navy’s Shayetet 13 commando unit, the 401st Armored Brigade, and Nahal Infantry Brigade. Hundreds of members of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad have been captured so far, according to the IDF.
The IDF says more Hamas operatives were killed during operations over the past day in southern Gaza’s al-Qarara and the al-Amal neighbourhood of Khan Younis, where troops of the Commando Brigade, Givati Brigade and 7th Armored Brigade also captured caches of weapons.
The Israeli Air Force also targeted dozens of sites across the Gaza Strip, largely in support of forces maneuvering on the ground, the IDF says.
The IDF says the sites included tunnels, buildings used by Hamas, gunmen, and other infrastructure.
In central Gaza, the IDF says the Nahal Brigade killed several gunmen over the past day, including by calling in airstrikes.
