The IDF says troops of the 7th Armored Brigade have advanced further in southern Gaza, while raiding Hamas sites in Khan Younis, including the headquarters of the terror group’s intelligence division in the city.

The intelligence headquarters was responsible for all of Hamas’s intelligence activity in the Khan Younis area, the IDF says, adding that it also located a command center belonging to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad in the same complex.

According to the IDF, the troops recovered “very valuable” intelligence materials from the sites.

Meanwhile, troops of the Givati Brigade raided several more Hamas sites in southern Gaza, killing operatives in the process with sniper fire and tank shelling, the IDF says.

It says that the Givati troops also directed several airstrikes on Hamas gunmen in the area, along with other infrastructure belonging to the terror group.

Before the troops maneuvered deeper into Khan Younis, the IDF says the 98th Division and Air Force carried out some 50 strikes on targets in the area, including tunnels and other infrastructure used by Hamas to attack troops.
