The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) claimed on Wednesday that its forces had wrapped up their two-week-long military operation in Gaza City’s Shejaiya neighborhood.
"IDF troops eliminated dozens of terrorists in the area of Shejaiya and dismantled underground tunnel routes. The troops identified ten terrorists observing the troops from a structure in the area, and in a combined aerial and ground strike, the structure in which the terrorists were operating was struck," the military posted on telegram.
The operation, initiated on June 27, has also resulted in the IDF's uncovering of a long-range Hamas rocket launcher near a school, as well as the elimination of "dozens" of its members who were hiding within a designated "humanitarian zone" in the area. The army demolished eight major tunnels and killed over 150 gunmen.
