Eliminating Terrorists on Land in the Air & at Sea: The Commando Brigade in the Heart of Khan Yunis

The Commando Brigade is continuing operations in the Khan Yunis area and is strengthening its operational control in this Hamas terrorist stronghold. IDF soldiers who specialize in urban warfare are fighting in particularly challenging terrain and are using their experience and operational skills to carry out these missions.

During the soldiers' advance in the area, they encountered numerous terrorist cells and eliminated them using sniper fire, precision missiles and tank fire. In one of the encounters, soldiers of the Egoz Unit identified three armed terrorists and launched a precision "Iron Sting" missile, resulting in the elimination of the terrorists. In addition, during operations on a structure in the area, the soldiers eliminated four terrorists in close-quarters combat.

In a special operation by snipers of the Egoz Unit, the soldiers carried out several precise eliminations over several hours using a deception method adapted to combating enemy cells that emerge from underground.

Furthermore, soldiers of the Maglan Unit are carrying out intensive operations in the field. The soldiers are eliminating terrorists in fierce battles, conducting target based raids on terrorist targets and locating large quantities of weapons. The soldiers operated against the military command and control center of the Islamic Jihad’s Intelligence Commander, as well as a Hamas command and control center where they located large quantities of ammunition, weapons, tactical radios, night vision equipment, maps and significant intelligence.
