The spokesman of the Israel Defense Forces said that they attacked the headquarters of “Hamas” in the city of Khan Younis in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, DPA reported.
“During a ground operation in Khan Younis, the Israel Defense Forces attacked Hamas headquarters in the center of the city, including the Palestinian movement’s intelligence command center,” said Daniel Hagari.
The information cannot be independently verified.
Israel suspects that the leader of Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Yahya Sinwar, is hiding in tunnels under Khan Yunis.
Israeli forces also announced they were in the process of taking control of northern Gaza, where the Israeli offensive began. There, the army has focused its efforts on the Darj Tufah area, which is Hamas’s last significant bastion in northern Gaza.
Yesterday, Israeli forces also ended a large-scale attack on Hizullah targets in Lebanon, near the border with Israel, the military spokesman said. Three terrorist cells were eliminated there, he explained, adding that the army will continue to attack Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon.
“The southern areas of Lebanon will not return to what they used to be,” Hagari said. He added that 80 percent of the rockets fired by Hezbollah on Friday landed in Lebanese territory.
