The IDF says the commandos are raiding Hamas sites in the area and killing dozens

The IDF says the commandos are raiding Hamas sites in the area and killing dozens of operatives each day, including in close-quarters combat, ambushes with sniper fire, and by calling in airstrikes.

The Maglan unit has also captured Hamas operatives and seized weapons, the IDF says.

In a recent incident, the IDF says that as Maglan troops raided a Hamas site in Khan Younis, they spotted four gunmen running toward them. Three of the operatives were killed by the commandos, while the fourth gunmen surrendered, according to the IDF.

At the site, the troops captured a cache of weapons, including an assault rifle hidden under a bed, rockets, grenades, explosive belts, shoulder-launched missiles, explosive devices and other military equipment, the IDF says.
