The IDF completed the encirclement of Gaza City on Tuesday, military sources said. Three IDF divisions completed their takeover of key areas inside and around the city — Sheikh Radwan, the coastline, Sabra, and Tel al-Hawa. Military estimates say more than 600,000 residents have already left Gaza City.
“Hamas is currently in a state of confusion,” a military source told Maariv. “It doesn’t know where the IDF is striking from and has no clear sense of the scale of forces we’re using against them.”
For now, clashes remain limited, with Hamas avoiding major confrontations except for a few incidents. In one of them, yesterday, Maj. Shahar Netanel Buzaglo, a company commander in the 77th Armored Battalion, was killed in battle.
The military source also said that there had been "limited movement of terrorists and the number of clashes is not large. They probably prefer to dig in and preserve their strength." (Read More)
