Israel says it killed over 50 Hamas fighters in Gaza City
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) claimed on Thursday that they killed over 50 Hamas fighters during a raid on the Hamas military quarter in the center of Gaza City in recent days. "The military quarter area is the heart of intelligence and operational activities of Hamas and was used, among other things, to plan and prepare Hamas operatives for the murderous attack on October 7," the IDF said.
The Israeli military added that its Givati Brigade "worked to clear the area and neutralize terrorist infrastructure in the area, including a wide underground tunnel network." It said it also found military intelligence documents and destroyed "a number of significant tunnel shafts, factories for the production of anti-tank missiles, and anti-aircraft rocket launch posts."
