In addition, in the Khan Younis area, soldiers discovered several terrorists transporting goods on motorcycles. The soldiers launched an airstrike and wiped out the squad.
At the same time, soldiers also launched attacks on two military bases located inside terrorist houses.
In central Gaza, soldiers from the Israeli Nahar Brigades neutralized about ten terrorists on the final day.
As part of the activity, the brigade’s firefighting complex spotted a terrorist squad entering the building and firing anti-tank missiles at the soldiers. A fighter jet is sent to eliminate the squad.
