Fighting in Gaza City intensifies, Israel says it killed 30 Hamas terrorists and several top Hamas commandos

Over the past 24 hours, operating on precise IDF intelligence, Israeli soldiers have killed numerous Hamas' Nukhba terrorists who participated in the October 7th massacre.

Among the terrorists were Ahmed Musa, a company commander, and Omar Al-Hindi, a platoon commander, both located in western Jabalya. 

Musa was one of the commanders leading the invasion into the Zikim Base, Kibbutz Zikim and the Yiftah Outpost. Over the last few days, he led attacks against IDF troops in the area of western Jabalya. 

In addition, based on IDF and Shin Bet intelligence, the head of the sniper unit of Hamas’ Northern Brigade, Mohammed Kahlout, was eliminated. 

Operating on Shin Bet intelligence, IDF troops overnight struck 19 Hamas terrorists who were planning to attack IDF troops. 

Furthermore, IDF troops found a shipping container located at a beach, containing approximately 20 rocket launchers. In addition, during an operation in Sheikh Ijlin, the troops searched for evidence of weapons in the southern part of Gaza City, locating a rocket launcher adjacent to resident buildings. All weapons were confiscated or destroyed by IDF troops. 

IDF soldiers of the 7th Brigade conducted raids on a Hamas military post and a training compound located in the heart of civilian areas inside the northern Gaza Strip over the last few days. The soldiers secured buildings and seized dozens of weapons, missiles, UAVs, maps, communication devices, mortars, attack drones and technological assets.

During the raid, the troops eliminated approximately 30 terrorists and raided the office of Muhammad Sinwar, the brother of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, where they found documentation of military doctrine.
