News Israel entered the south of the Gaza Strip: the IDF named the purpose of the operation by alex 04.12.2023 written by alex 04.12.2023 88 Fighting began in the south of the Gaza Strip / Getty Images Fighting between the Israel Defense Forces and Hamas has begun again in the Gaza Strip. Now the IDF is conducting a military operation in the south of the Gaza Strip. Initially, the IDF did not confirm reports of an IDF offensive in the southern Gaza Strip. However, the Israeli military later announced the start of a ground military operation in the area. What Israel says IDF Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Hertz Halevi said that on December 3, the Israel Defense Forces eliminated battalion commanders, company commanders and many Hamas militants. And yesterday morning we started the same thing in the south of the Gaza Strip. This will be no less powerful than the operations in northern Gaza. It will bring no less results,” he noted. According to him, fighting continues in the north for “deepening achievements.” Halevi added that the IDF extended its offensive to all areas of the Gaza Strip and carried out more than 10,000 strikes. One of the objectives of this operation is to locate places where militants are holding Israeli hostages. IDF fighters said they were able to take control of the tunnels housing Hamas commanders. The IDF is also engaged in destroying the underground infrastructure of Palestinian terrorists throughout the Gaza Strip. What's happening in the Middle East Let us remember that on the first day of winter, Israel resumed hostilities against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The IDF explained this as a violation of the ceasefire agreement by Palestinian militants. By the evening of December 1, Israeli aircraft carried out strikes on Hamas infrastructure. After this, large-scale ground battles began in the Khan Yunis area (the second largest city in the enclave). Retired Lieutenant Colonel of the General Staff of the Israel Defense Forces Mark Babot, in an interview with Channel 24, said that during the truce, Hamas brought food, water and fuel to its underground bunkers. He suggested that Palestinian militants were given the opportunity to rebuild their strength and rearm. 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail alex previous post Shifted the focus from the Sumy region: the Russian Federation began to more actively use DRGs on the border with the Kharkov region next post The US attacked militants in Iraq, preventing attacks on its bases You may also like Explosions in Kharkiv on October 28: House Destroyed,... 28.10.2024 Tensions Rise: Who's More Nervous Ahead of US... 28.10.2024 Drones Attack Ethanol Spirit Plant in Voronezh Region 28.10.2024 In the Voronezh region, UAVs have attacked a... 28.10.2024 NATO Secretary General to Issue Statement on DPRK... 28.10.2024 JD Vance Clearly Answered Whether the US Will... 28.10.2024 KABs on the city: explosions thundered in Kharkov,... 27.10.2024 Nuclear Ambitions Buried: Israel Hit Two Secret Bases... 27.10.2024 European and Canadian parliamentarians call on EU not... 27.10.2024 Top European and Canadian MPs Call on EU... 27.10.2024 Leave a Comment Cancel Reply Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.
