(Worthy News) – The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) recently completed a three-week-long operation in the southern Gaza Strip. During this operation, the military destroyed six kilometers of tunnels, eliminated over 250 terrorists, and recovered the bodies of twelve hostages over the past two weeks.
The operation, conducted by the IDF’s 98th Division in early August, took place in Southern Gaza, specifically in Khan Younis and on the outskirts of Deir al-Balah.
The IDF announced that the division has now been withdrawn from Gaza as it prepares for future operations.
The IDF also reported that during the operation, combat engineers demolished six separate tunnels, totaling approximately six kilometers of underground passages. Troops encountered and killed terrorists inside some of these tunnels, in addition to discovering living areas used by terror operatives and finding caches of weapons.
Last week, in the Hamad Town residential complex of Khan Younis, IDF forces recovered the bodies of six hostages from a tunnel. The hostages identified were Alex Dancyg, 75, Yagev Buchshtav, 35, Chaim Peri, 79, Yoram Metzger, 80, Nadav Popplewell, 51, and Avraham Munder, 78.
On Saturday, the IDF reported the recovery of six more hostages’ bodies from a tunnel beneath the Gaza town of Rafah, including Israeli-American Hersh Goldberg-Polin. The other individuals, identified as Eden Yerushalmi, Alexander Lobanov, Almog Sarusi, and Ori Danino, were abducted during the Oct. 7 Nova music festival. The sixth victim, Carmel Gat, was taken from a nearby farming community.
The Valor Forum, representing bereaved families, demanded in a Sunday morning statement that the IDF continue its operations until Hamas is defeated.
“We received another reminder that we are at war against a cruel enemy that spares no means and that we must not stop for a moment. We must continue with all our might until all our enemies are destroyed,” they stated.
