Tel Aviv (Uttam Hindu News): The Israel Defense Forces has said that since the ground offensive in Gaza on October 27, the army has so far killed 10 brigade and battalion commanders of the Hamas terrorist group. This revelation was made by IDF spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari. According to the IDF, more than 130 Hamas militants have been killed since the ground attack.
The spokesman stressed that the army remained focused on the Gaza Strip despite numerous provocations from the Iran-backed Hezbollah terrorist group in Lebanon.
Hagari also acknowledged that forces were fighting an uphill battle inside Hamas-controlled territory and said the IDF had already destroyed several tunnels where militants were hiding. The IDF also said it had received a lot of information about the terrorist group after it captured the Jabaliya refugee camp during an army operation on Tuesday.
It further said that intelligence obtained from the largest camp in the Gaza Strip would be used for further attacks on Hamas. Meanwhile, Israeli ground forces are closing in on Gaza City, the largest and most densely populated center of the Palestinian territory. The death toll among IDF soldiers has risen to 23.
