In recent days IDF troops conducted a targeted operation on a compound in Khan Yunis, used by the commander of Hamas’ regional Brigade to direct operations and located AK-47 rifles, ammunition, military equipment, and technological assets there. IDF troops also located RPGs inside terrorist’s residences.
The Paratroopers Brigade has intensified the combat in the Al-Amal area in the west of Khan Yunis, a Hamas stronghold. The soldiers located many weapons, Hamas terrorist infrastructure, underground tunnel shafts, observation posts, and weapons manufacturing facilities.
Additionally, following intelligence, the soldiers conducted a targeted raid on Hamas' financial infrastructure, locating safes and a currency exchange office of the terrorist organization where more than NIS 3 million ($800,000) designated for terrorist purposes were stored. The soldiers also found intelligence documents belonging to Hamas.
As part of operations in western Khan Yunis, the Givati Brigade conducted a targeted operation on the "Al-Qadsia" compound, which serves as the main base of the Khan Yunis Brigade. The office of Mohammad Sinwar - the brother of Yahya Sinwar - was located at the compound. When entering the area, the forces identified that the compound was booby-trapped by Hamas terrorists with many explosives, including inside the walls. Engineering forces neutralized these explosives.
The "Al-Qadsia" compound served as a training facility for Hamas to train terrorists to carry out the October 7th massacre. The compound contained significant training areas, some of which had models simulating entrance gates of Israeli kibbutzim, military bases, and IDF armored vehicles. The soldiers also entered the central war room of the Khan Yunis Brigade and the offices of its senior officers. Additionally, the base contained rocket storage facilities and tunnel shafts leading to underground tunnel routes used by the Hamas terrorist organization.
