IDF troops from the Givati Brigade, under the command of the 162nd Division, located and destroyed an explosive device site while operating in Jabalya in northern Gaza as part of Operation “Gideon's Chariots,” the military shared on Sunday.
Following the IDF's identification, an Israel Air Force aircraft, directed by the brigade’s Fire Control Center, carried out a strike and destroyed the explosive site.
Additionally, in recent weeks, the soldiers have killed numerous terrorists, dismantled military infrastructure both above and below ground, and located and confiscated weapons, some of which were hidden inside civilian structures, the military added.
IDF recovers bodies of hostages
Last week, the IDF announced it recovered the bodies of hostages Ofra Keidar, Shai Levinson, and Yonatan Samareno, as they continued operations in Gaza.
At the same time, troops from the 162nd Division continued operating in Jabalya in northern Gaza, as Givati Brigade soldiers fought and killed six terrorists in the area, the military said.
