The IDF have conducted a series of operations in the Gaza Strip, targeting terrorist infrastructure and personnel.
In Khan Yunis, soldiers from the Yahalom unit and the 82nd Battalion discovered and dismantled an underground tunnel route belonging to Islamic Jihad, measuring approximately 500 meters in length.
In a separate operation, troops from the 77th Battalion raided a terrorist compound, uncovering a cache of weapons, including military vests and grenades. Additionally, the soldiers found a rocket launcher ready to fire, which was subsequently destroyed.
The 7th Brigade is currently operating on the outskirts of Deir al-Balah, where soldiers have eliminated dozens of terrorists and dismantled terrorist infrastructure.

The IDF has been eliminating terrorists by the dozens since the war began. However as opposed to what they believed at the start of the war, where they had a count of Hamas fighters and that the more they killed the less fighters Hamas will have left, it is turning out that Hamas has an almost endless source of fighting age men ready to replace the fighters they kill, if only because they have a paycheck to offer in a place where there are no jobs, in addition to their understandable desire to fight the IDF that just destroyed everything they had. In fact in all likelihood the ones they are killing now were not even part of the count of Hamas fighters that Israel set out to kill at the start of the war. No matter how many times they go into a given city to get rid of the Hamas presence its only a matter of time till Hamas puts together a new force. As a result killing Hamas fighters has no affect on reducing their numbers. So its time they think good and hard about whether their strategy of going back to the same city over and over is getting them any closer to their goal of eliminating Hamas as a military force capable of attacking Israel again.
@notposhut: your understanding of the situation is wrong. the idf estimated that hamas had 35,000 terrorists, of which they have eliminated about 17,000. so your idea that new terrorists are springing up to replace dead ones is a fantasy. and the idea that new recruits just step into the shoes and magically join the ranks, without training, is not possible. and weapons don’t magically spring up out of the sand, either. so why are you keen to post your “opinions”?
Notpushut, Hamas can easily replace fighters not because the IDF “destroyed everything they had”. Hamas can replace their fighters because they have been brainwashed from the moment they were born that “the greatest glory is to kill Jews”. Tge families of yound men encourage them to fight because it brings honor to them.
If the IDF doesn’t eliminate these terrorists what do you think will happen? They’ll just keep on killing Jews H”y. So yes, they should rethink how they are going about killing these terrorists because they are putting their own soldiers at risk, their own soldiers are dying to protect the terrorists. They should be bombing these terrorists, not fighting them on the ground.
