Tel Aviv [Israel], September 1 (ANI/TPS): For the past three months, elements of the IDF’s (Israel Defense Forces) Kfir Infantry Brigade have operated in southern Khan Yunis in Gaza to “expand and consolidate operational control in the area, eliminate terrorists, and destroy terrorist infrastructure.”
As part of the operation, dozens of terrorists were eliminated in face-to-face encounters and in coordination with the Israel Air Force. Some of those eliminated had participated in the October 7 massacre.
The forces also destroyed approximately eight kilometers (five miles) of underground tunnels in the area. Kfir fighters dismantled Hamas military infrastructure and seized numerous weapons while working to establish the “Magen Oz” axis, which separates east and west Khan Yunis.
The IDF stated that its forces in the Southern Command will continue to operate on “any mission required to establish operational control in the area, eliminate terrorists, and destroy terrorist infrastructure.” (ANI/TPS)
