The IDF reported a major achievement in northern Gaza on Thursday, announcing that the Beit Hanun Battalion of Hamas has been fully dismantled and is no longer operational.
Over the past month, the Givati Brigade, in collaboration with the Combat Engineering and Armored Corps, focused on destroying hundreds of terrorist infrastructure sites in the Beit Hanun area.
The operations, which targeted both above-ground and underground sites, have greatly diminished Hamas's military presence in the region.
The IDF's coordination with the Israeli Air Force enabled precision strikes on key military targets, including military structures, observation posts, and sniper positions, all of which posed substantial threats to Israeli troops.
Furthermore, the IDF's Yahalom Unit successfully dismantled numerous tunnel shafts and underground routes used by Hamas operatives to move across the strip and transport weapons.
As a result of these combined efforts, Hamas's Beit Hanun Battalion’s forces have been neutralized, and most of the terrorists active in the area have been killed.
Second surrender in a week
Earlier this week, a significant number of terrorists from the Beit Hanun Battalion surrendered to IDF troops after emerging from a tunnel.
The IDF concluded by saying that Hamas’s ability to organize and carry out operations in northern Gaza has been severely disrupted.
