Dozens of Hamas terrorists have been killed amid heavy fighting in Khan Younis, the Israel Defence Force (IDF) said.

Members of the 98th Division’s Givati Brigade are said to have eliminated six fighters through tank and sniper fire, while the Paratrooper Brigade directed an airstrike on five others.

Close by, the Maglan unit spotted four Hamas terrorists who had fired an anti-tank missile earlier that day, and directed a fighter jet to bomb them.

Israel’s air force has struck several Hamas sites around Gaza’s second-largest city, including apartments used by operatives, weapons depots, and observation posts.

It comes after the IDF said it was waging a guerilla campaign in Khan Younis and was taking “operational command” in the heart of the city.
