The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) continues to operate in the Gaza Strip despite facing fierce resistance from the Hamas Movement and other Palestinian armed factions.
On December 22, the IDF said that troops of the 646th Reserve Paratroopers Brigade operating in central Gaza’s Juhor ad-Dik located a cache of weapons and long-range rocket launchers used in recent attacks on Israel.
The rocket launchers were later destroyed in an airstrike, the IDF said in a statement. It also said the 7th Armored Brigade operating in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis city located weapons inside residential homes.

In Gaza City’s Shati refugee camp, the IDF said the 14th Reserve Armored Brigade raided a school and also located weapons.
And the 179th Reserve Armored Brigade operating south of the city, found further caches of weapons in homes, along with a rocket launcher, according to the IDF.
Separately, the IDF announced that combat engineers operating with the Kiryati Brigade located and destroyed a tunnel shaft from which Hamas fighters fired rocket-propelled grenades at troops.
Fighter jets also struck a Hamas fighter, spotted by the 215th Artillery Regiment, while planting explosive devices to be used against troops. Several other Hamas cells were targeted across the Strip, according to the IDF, which also said the Navy carried out strikes over the past day, to aid ground forces.
A day earlier, the IDF said that it had blown up a major Hamas tunnel network hidden under Gaza City’s Palestine Square. No evidence of the tunnel network was presented. The destruction of the square was seen by some observers as a punitive action.
The IDF sustained some losses during its recent operations in Gaza. On December 22, it announced the death of two troops, a soldier of the Combat Engineering Corps’ 7071st Battalion and a cadet in the Bahad 1 officers’ school’s Gefen Battalion who previously served in the Air Force’s Unit 669. Three other troops were wounded.
The death of the two has brought the number of Israeli troops killed since the beginning of ground operations in Gaza to 139.
Despite advancing in several parts of Gaza, the IDF is still facing fierce resistance from Hamas and other Palestinian armed factions. In addition, rocket attacks from the Strip are being reported on a daily basis. Overall, the Israeli war is yet to achieve any of its main goals.
hitler was right
right about what? israel is the problem and zionism. nazism and zionism both spawn from 19th century austria. lets not forget many jewish people are anti zionist and find whats happening to the palestinians intolerable.
he should learn. jews had hard times and germnans after ww1 too.
that makes extremists almost pr definition. marx has a time too, when saw the proletars didnt take over. more a as upper upperclass took over mainl in east.
sure. an stalin was a nice man too.
ziosts are very few. that few abd the rest of the jews dont run the world .
if so few runs the world ours you deserve it.
edutated and hard working people with skills runs the word. its very visible if you rekate to gdp and living age.
the isreali war is yet to achieve any of it’s military goals, really south-front? the israelis have killed 20,000 people and wounded almost 55,000 people, the war is going as planned to the zionists! now they just have to figure out how they can kill one million more!
heil $hlomo!
without food, medicine and sanitation, and with rampant diseases, they have that million covered as well.
none has any sober sober solutions.
a sarcasting help sould be russia allow ukrainian food. people there are there.
the perennial self anointed victims are in fact the biggest mass murderers in history. if the western world doesn’t wake up, one day they will suffer the same fate as the palestinians.
it would be more likely that a lot of the ordnance the idf say they found at a school and other private homes was most likely planted by the same idf in order to justify continued attacks by the israeli air force on civilian targets! don’t trust anything the jews say…….
islam and nazis love one and other
shlomo continues to pulverize rubble as it gets its a$$ burned daily by the gallant palestinian freedom fighters. how long more can the bankrupt, brainless mercan golem continue to pay for this slaughter? until $lumville itself collapses in poverty and its long overdue civil war is reloaded. 2024 is the year the world will watch amerika burn as its disparate tribes and gangs go all out in their “war to end all their wars”. who will take the surviving shlomo$ when palestine is free?
