The operation, announced by the military on Monday (18 November), is part of intensified efforts to dismantle Hamas’s underground infrastructure in the region. These actions are centered in areas like Jabalya and Beit Lahiya, where Hamas activities are concentrated.
The IDF’s 162nd Division and Kfir Brigade are leading these operations, targeting key sites and engaging militants in close-quarters combat. During these missions, the troops killed dozens of terrorists through confrontation and aerial fire, showcasing their focus on eliminating immediate threats. The operations are described as strategic moves to undermine Hamas’s stronghold in northern Gaza.
In addition to eliminating threats, IDF soldiers uncovered several subterranean shafts and weapon caches during their operations. These discoveries highlight the extent of Hamas’s underground network, which plays a critical role in their operations. The tunnels and hidden weapons pose significant risks to the region’s security and are a priority for IDF forces.
The ongoing operations in Gaza underline the IDF’s commitment to dismantling Hamas’s military infrastructure. By targeting terror hubs and reducing their capabilities, the IDF aims to restore security in the region. These efforts also showcase the challenges of counterterrorism in densely populated and strategically complex areas like northern Gaza.
