“The Israeli government, Israeli Defense Forces and security forces will continue the war to free all those abducted, complete the elimination of Hamas and ensure that Gaza does not pose a threat to the State of Israel.” This was written by the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a statement released after reaching an agreement with Hamas for the release of hostages in exchange for a truce in the fighting in the Gaza Strip. But that is not all. The agreement between the terrorist group and Tel Aviv was “structured to facilitate” the release of other hostages in addition to the 50 who will be released in the first phase. This is what a senior American official believes after the deal was reached. Meanwhile, there continues to be a lot of talk about the fate of the Israeli prime minister and his responsibilities for not being able to contain the threats from the Islamic political and paramilitary organization. There are rumors of a reorganization of functions and, according to the Jerusalem Post, Unit 504 would increasingly be at the center of operations.
But what is this? The reason why the Israeli Defense Forces decided to give more importance to Unit 504 is that it was decisive in identifying and attacking the hospitals in Gaza, under which, as we now know, the terrorist group’s organized centers of power are hidden. According to what was reported by the IDF, since October 7, Unit 504 has interrogated more than 500 fedayeen and, since the beginning of the ground operation in the Strip, has arrested at least 300 Islamists and “flagged” hundreds of locations linked to terrorist activities . Activities .
This team of spies, again considering what we read in the Jerusalem Post and as reported by Il Giornale, received thousands of phone calls from all Palestinians who chose to side with Israel and therefore take sides against Hamas. But in addition to being decisive in carrying out interrogations and detecting illicit activities, Unit 504 created a program that allows viewing the city of Gaza and thus managed to discover many tunnels through which the group can infiltrate and communicate with the outside world. .
