"IDF Targets Completion of Khan Yunis Operation Within a Month Amid Israel-Hamas Conflict"
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are progressing in their operation in Khan Yunis, Gaza, with the goal of dismantling two of the city's four battalions by early February. Despite rapid advances in northern Gaza, the IDF faces a longer learning curve and tougher resistance in the southern and western sectors of Khan Yunis. The IDF's strategy involves comprehensive ground advances and the destruction of extensive tunnel networks used by Hamas. The IDF has also eliminated two battalion commanders and captured terrorists for intelligence, which aids in ongoing operations. The conflict continues to revolve around tunnel shafts, with the IDF maintaining pressure on Hamas both above and below ground.
