The combat group of the 401st Nahal Brigade, together with other units under the command of the 162nd Division, continues active operations to neutralize terrorists and destroy terrorist infrastructure in the central Gaza Strip. This was reported in the War Diary, UNN writes.
We came here at night, raided the area, and caught the enemy by surprise. There is still a lot of work to be done, we will reach where the enemy is trying to gain a foothold, and we will destroy the terrorists.
IDF soldiers from the 401st Brigade constructed an engineered bridge to cross the Gaza River, which divides the northern and southern Gaza Strip. The soldiers successfully crossed the two central bridges and shelled several terrorist infrastructure sites in the area.
With the help of engineering means, a large area with launch pits and installations used by terrorists in Gaza to launch rockets into Israel was discovered. All these installations were destroyed.
Recently, the brigade also killed dozens of terrorists in hand-to-hand combat and with air support in the central Gaza Strip.
