In a statement, the military that the 551st Brigade of the IDF along with the Shayetit 13 commando unit of the Israel Navy conducted a joint raid at the group’s security headquarters during which arms and ammunition were seized.

According to the military, the troops had struck a group of elite Hamas Nukhba operatives during a joint operation with the Paratroopers Brigade on Monday. The Navy also carried out dozens of strikes along the Gaza coast, aiding the ground forces, the IDF added. The Forces also said that troops have “completed the encirclement” of the Jabaliya refugee camp, the largest in Gaza. The IDF said it “took control of key military posts from which attacks on IDF troops have been carried out.” It said weapons and launchers had been located “in civilian compounds,” and it had “located and destroyed rockets found in the garden of a residence in the northern Gaza Strip”.
