Israeli soldiers fought house-to-house against Hamas forces in the densely populated territory, where 1.5 million have been internally displaced trying to seek refuge from the war.
– We hit Hamas, and we take support point after support point, in line with our plan, in a systematic effort to wrest from Hamas their military capacity, says spokesman Jonathan Conricus in the Israeli army (IDF) to the TV channel CNN.
– We have soldiers on the ground: infantry, armor and engineering forces. They fight and they control fire from the air, he adds. Conricus says the effort is concentrated around “underground infrastructure”, ie Hamas’s network of tunnels.
