JERUSALEM (VINnews) — Although fierce fighting is still taking place in many regions in the Gaza strip, the IDF has reason for optimism. The Hamas resistance has been broken in most regions in northern Gaza, although sporadic clashes continue even in Beit Hanoun and Beit Lahia, the northern neighborhoods which were conquered in the first part of the ground offensive.

During the current phase of the offensive, the IDF has targeted both Khan Younis, the huge city in Southern Gaza where Yahya Sinwar is presumed to be hiding, as well as the towns of Jabalya and Sejaia east of Gaza city. In Khan Younis, the IDF is treading carefully but swiftly, going from house to house and from tunnel to tunnel and eliminating enemies. The city is currently virtually surrounded by IDF forces.
In Sejaiya, the IDF has faced hand-to-hand combat and has succeeded in breaking Hamas resistance in many parts of the neighborhood. (CAUTION: SENSITIVE CONTENT)

Numerous Hamas terrorists in Jabalya have surrendered to IDF forces and have laid down their weapons.
Video of “civilians” surrendering to IDF and looking “humiliated” is being used by media to hurt Israel. No footage of captures should be permitted for this reason. But media show few hamas atrocities, rocket attacks or update on 140 hostages.
What will Israel do with these terrorists? Fill their jails with future bargaining chips? These guys are a potentialTrojan horse of they come to Israel.
Not easy to be a soldier in Gaza. May HaShem help our boys..
It is good when the Other People surrender. Now how will the Israelis deal with the fighters and the civilians?
