Gaza Strip - May 17, 2024

In a series of intense operations, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have eliminated more than 60 terrorists in the past week in the city of Jabaliya, according to reports from the front lines.

The 7th Brigade, leading the divisional-level offensive, has been engaged in a fierce battle against terrorist cells in the city center. Despite being exchanged fire with terrorist groups, the Israeli soldiers have made significant gains, with dozens of airstrikes and ground operations taking out key targets.

In a significant discovery, soldiers from the 101st battalion uncovered a weapons warehouse, just meters from a shelter complex where civilians had been evacuated. The warehouse was found to be stocked with dozens of long-range rockets, rocket parts, explosives, and other weapons.

The significance of this find cannot be overstated, as it highlights the sophistication and scale of the terrorist infrastructure in the area. The proximity of the warehouse to the shelter complex also raises concerns about the potential use of these weapons against civilians.

In addition to the weapons cache, Israeli forces also located a rocket launcher in the area and destroyed it, further disrupting the terrorist groups' ability to launch attacks.

The IDF's fire control center has been directing airstrikes and ground operations, successfully eliminating terrorists and destroying key infrastructure. The 7th Brigade's efforts have been instrumental in securing gains in the city, with soldiers continuing to exchange fire with terrorist cells in the area.
