A large IDF force conducted operations in the Shati refugee camp outside of Gaza City overnight, successfully eliminating terrorists across multiple battles, the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit announced on Sunday morning.
In one of the battles, soldiers from the Givati Brigade identified numerous civilians inside of a building in the area. The IDF troops subsequently secured a corridor so the Gazans could safely evacuate.
During the evacuation, the Givati soldiers came under fire from terrorists. The Israeli troops responded with gun and tank fire, eliminating the Hamas terrorists.
Another battle saw Hamas combatants barricading themselves inside a house. The IDF eliminated the terrorist threat with gunfire and targeted airstrikes.
The IAF also targeted a weapons depot following a rocket launch from the site.
In a separate encounter, IDF personnel of the Nahal Brigade used a drone to target a squad of four terrorists. Although three were successfully eliminated, the fourth fled into a crowded area.
