The IDF's 98th Division has killed more than 100 Hamas operatives in the Hamad Town residential complex in southern Gaza's Khan Younis over the past week and a half, the military says.

The troops have been raiding the multi-story buildings in the Qatari-funded neighborhood, where the IDF says there is Hamas infrastructure.

Around 100 airstrikes were carried out amid the operation in Hamad, according to the IDF.

The division's Maglan and Egoz commando units, along with the Givati recon unit, captured several operatives in Hamad, including a commander in Hamas's elite Nukhba force, the IDF says.

The IDF says captured operatives have provided the IDF intelligence on the locations of tunnels, booby traps, gunmen, and other infrastructure.

In one case, the IDF says a captured Hamas fighter provided information on a building where 15 gunmen were holed up. The site was then struck and the operatives were killed, the IDF says.
