In a series of 15 operations across Rafah’s neighborhoods, brigade forces dismantled terrorist infrastructure, uncovered weapons, destroyed underground routes with Yahalom unit fighters, and eliminated numerous terrorists through precise air-and-ground coordination.
Halevi: ‘We are dismantling Hamas and targeting its infrastructure and forces to ensure that there will never be another October 7.’
The IDF added that forces in the Rafah area of southern Gaza have killed 15 terrorists in the last day.
The IDF retrieved the bodies of Hersh Goldberg-Polin, 23, Eden Yerushalmi, 24, Ori Danino, 25, Almog Sarusi, 25, Alexander Lobanov, 32, and Carmel Gat, 40, in Rafah last month.
The IDF conducted a series of raids aimed at confiscating rifles, ammo, and various other weapons, some of which were hidden inside a children’s knapsack.
‘Their four battalions have been destroyed, and we have completed operational control over the entire urban area.’
The soldiers did not know of their presence; the army’s policy is not to send troops to areas that intelligence indicates may hold live hostages.
The IDF is systematically destroying all terror facilities in Gaza to prevent Hamas and other terror groups from re-arming.
Hamas fighters are being kept constantly on the run and defeated in one city after another.
Israel now ‘looking toward the north,’ says Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, claiming that Hamas forces in stronghold of Rafah have been defeated.
