Israeli Commando Brigade troops raided a compound in western Khan Yunis associated with Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, eliminating dozens of terrorists and uncovering large amounts of military equipment. The operation, conducted by the elite Egoz Unit, was based on precise intelligence and part of ongoing efforts to root out terror elements in the area. The IDF also reported locating large quantities of weaponry, including mortars, grenades, and combat equipment, as part of their recent push in western Khan Yunis.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) released footage of its elite commando brigade engaged in house-to-house fighting in the Al-Shati refugee camp in northern Gaza. The IDF claimed to have killed Hamas militants and destroyed "terrorist infrastructure" during the operation. The videos show soldiers conducting urban warfare, while an interview with a first lieutenant highlights the discovery of weapon stockpiles and tunnel shafts near educational institutions. Most civilians have been forced out of northern Gaza, and Israel has warned of potential attacks in the southern city of Khan Younis. The conflict between Israel and Hamas has resulted in numerous casualties on both sides.
