IDF Forces Locate, Infiltrate Tunnel Complex Believed To Be Headquarters of Hamas Leader Yahya Sinwar: Reports
After successfully pushing Hamas terrorists out of the northern reaches of Gaza, the IDF in recent weeks has been focusing on areas in the south where they believe the hostages are still being held.
The Israeli Defense Forces are, for the first time, engaged in pitched battles with Hamas terrorists underground in southern Gaza and have located what may be the headquarters of the group’s leader, Yahya Sinwar, according to reports Monday evening in the Israeli press.
Both Channel 12 news and a respected military analyst at the news website, Walla! News, are reporting that troops with the IDF’s 98th Division are carrying out a pincer movement around the Hamas stronghold of Khan Yunis, with troops on the ground advancing at the same rate as troops in the tunnels. The troops in the tunnels have killed dozens of terrorists as they moved through tunnels, Channel 12 reports, some of them more than half a mile long and as wide as a vehicle in spots.
