IDF Conquers Hamas Military Strongholds, Secures Humanitarian Corridor

JERUSALEM (VINnews) — During the course of Monday’s fighting in Gaza, IDF troops conquered a strategic military stronghold belonging to the Hamas terrorist organization. Anti-tank missiles and launchers, weapons, and various intelligence materials were located in the compound by the troops.

In coordination with soldiers on the ground, an IDF fighter jet struck a cell of approximately 10 terrorists. Following this, IDF ground troops identified an anti-tank missile cell operating in their vicinity, which was preparing to attack them. The troops directed an IDF aircraft that struck the terrorist cell. Despite the terrorists being located just 130 meters away from the soldiers, the planes succeeded in destroying them without harming the soldiers, who for safety reasons were inside the tanks during the attack.

The IDF also struck numerous Hamas mortar shell launchers during the night. IDF naval forces struck with precise ammunition strategic targets belonging to the Hamas terrorist organization, including posts containing technological assets.

In another incident, IDF troops located a number of Hamas terrorists who had barricaded themselves in a building adjacent to the al-Quds Hospital, and planned to carry out an attack on the forces from there. IDF soldiers directed an aircraft to strike the Hamas terrorists. The attack led to significant secondary explosions which indicate the presence of a Hamas weapons depot in a civilian area.

At the same time, the IDF secured the humanitarian corridor in Gaza, enabling thousands of civilians to flee southward and fending off Hamas attacks on them.
