The Israel Defense Forces reported capturing a Hamas stronghold known as Outpost 17 in Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip after 10 hours of fighting. The IDF said the military fought against Hamas and Islamic Jihad militants present in the fortress, both “on the surface and on an underground route in the area.” Dozens of militants were reportedly killed in the fighting. Troops located many weapons and discovered pits and tunnels, including one near a kindergarten that led to a “large underground route.” The Times of Israel reports this.
Tel Aviv’s military forces also released video of an attack carried out against a building used by Hezbollah militiamen on farmland located near the Lebanese cities of Kafr Kila and Khiam. The IDF announced that it had targeted several Hezbollah positions on Tuesday and announced that two soldiers were wounded yesterday morning during a firefight near the Israeli border town of Dovev. The Lebanese Civil Defense said the Israeli attack witnessed on video destroyed a fertilizer storage building near Khiam.
According to initial estimates, since the beginning of the war that has brought the Middle East to its knees, Israeli soldiers have destroyed 130 entrances to the tunnels dug by Hamas in the Gaza Strip. “The water and oxygen deposits discovered inside the tunnels show that Hamas was preparing for prolonged periods underground,” specified the IDF. As has been repeatedly explained and disclosed, the dense network of tunnels that have been excavated over the years under Gaza corresponds to the terrorist group’s ability to organize sudden attacks: in fact, everything that is blocked on the surface passes through the Egyptian embargoes. and Israeli.
