As of January 13, heavy fighting between the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and the Hamas Movement continues in the central and southern parts of the Gaza Strip.
The IDF said in a statement that troops from the 646th Reserve Paratroopers Brigade operating in central Gaza located two Hamas rocket launching sites, with projectiles prepared for launch in the immediate time-frame.
Video footage released by the IDF shows the launchers being destroyed, with at least one of the rockets flying out due to the blast.
The IDF also said that operations are still ongoing in the city of Khan Younis in southern Gaza, with the 7th Armored Brigade destroying a Hamas tunnel shaft in a building used as a weapons depot. It added that several Hamas fighters were killed by Israeli tank fire.
Also in Khan Younis, the IDF said that the Paratroopers Brigade spotted Hamas fighters opening fire from a building and fleeing. The soldiers called in an airstrike, killing one of the fighters, while the second fled to another building, where he was later killed by another aircraft.
In northern Gaza, Israeli troops of the 401st Armored Brigade located and destroyed a number of rocket launching positions in the al-Atatra neighborhood, according to the IDF.
Meanwhile, Hamas’ military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, said that its fighters had targeted a bulldozer and two main battle tanks of the IDF in Khan Younis with explosive devices. It also reported attacks on two groups of Israeli troops and said its fighters gunned down two soldiers from point blank in the city.
In addition, the fighters fired an anti-aircraft missile at an IDF helicopter that was flying on a mission to the east of Khan Younis.
Israel and Hamas have been engaged in indirect talks for the last few days with help from Egypt and Qatar. However, they are yet to reach a ceasefire agreement. The ongoing battles in central and southern Gaza could go on for days, if not weeks.
israel as usual, overshoots in its supreme religious brainwashing. once the world wises up to the jewish scam, get ready for the real party to begin. the most antisemitic state is israel
oh look who is copying who again lmfao.
this was the only video that showed they used their brains – ofc they didn’t i’m joking, they are copying what russia been doing in ukraine. that being said, they can’t run such military actions 24/7. hamas has build many tunnels and over time they know those zionists wouldn’t push them so they go into those tunnels (- $150,000 each time).
these videos, to me, have always begged the question, “are not, the personel on the ground shown moving about, aware of drones possibly observing their movements?” i would think resistance fighters would constantly have observers checking the skyline; at least with simple binoculars.
good question i thought that myself. the footage in ukraine would tend to suggest you don’t hear them which surprised me. you saw it in the early days of this war where a palestinian drone flew above a group of idf and dropped a grenade amongst them. none of them reacted immediately. if it was me i would just work on the assumption that if you are in a clearing or exposed you are being watched and to move quickly and limit exposure time. its probably easy to forget though and boom.
how many dead, legless, armless idf diaper head shlomos will the colonial squatters nested in palestine still tolerate before they storm nut’nyahoos crypt, axe off his evil skull and hammer stakes into the thing’s poisoned withered heart? the days of the vampire are few. israhell is doomed after the wanton genocide they have shown all of humanity since the palestine resistance started oct 7th. their beloved hollow co$t shtick will no longer bring home the free bacon from their $lumville golem.
