Yesterday, Israel solemnly announced that its IDF 252nd Reserve Division had completed operations in the Beit Hanoun area in northern Gaza and transferred responsibility for the area to the Gaza Division, demonstrating the Israeli military's firm grip on the area.
A division fights a battalion
In a statement, the IDF said that with units of the 252nd Reserve Division, including infantry, tanks, combat sappers and artillery, it defeated Hamas's Beit Hanon camp and captured all its main camps and strongholds.
The IDF said that the Hamas Beit Ha agricultural camp was based on schools and public buildings, in which Israeli forces found tunnels and **.
The IDF said the 252nd Division killed "many*** and destroyed their *** depots, rocket launchers, underground command centers and "important" tunnels during the operation in Beit Hanoun.
"Hamas's underground infrastructure in the Beit Hanoun region has been severely damaged, and the shafts, as well as the main tunnel routes, have been treated," the statement said. ”
The division's Harrell brigade, together with special forces, discovered the main tunnel of the Beit Hanon camp in the area, which, according to the IDF, is located deep in the civilian infrastructure, between the Beit Hanoun city hall, the mosque, the football stadium and the daycare center.
The IDF issued ** that during the fighting in Beit Hanoun, the Harrell Brigade spotted two Hamas gunmen coming from the tunnel** and driving a car with two others**, who began to move towards the troops.
But judging from the **, it seems that the Israeli army bombed a donkey cart, I don't know if I was wrong.
The IDF added that the forces called in an airstrike, killing four Hamas members.
In other words, a division of the 252nd Division of the Israeli army attacked a battalion in Beit Hanoun, fought for almost two months, shot at the air every day, bombed buildings, and finally called for aerial bombardment, killing Hamas on 4 donkey carts
Hamas** retorts
Hamas then inevitably claimed that it was still fighting, and released a ** that its anti-tank missile hit an Israeli jeep, clearly marking that at least two people were carried away.
Hamas then released another paragraph** showing Hamas fighters penetrating the axis of Gaza City, striking and destroying a large number of Israeli army vehicles and soldiers.
One of the scenes shows 10 Israeli soldiers hiding behind a tank, eliminated by a Yassin-105 rocket.
On December 18, the Israeli Ministry of Defense released the news that a total of eight officers and soldiers were killed in the Gaza Strip, which basically confirmed the ** content released by Hamas.
They are: Captain Yarin Gahali, 22, platoon leader of the reconnaissance team of the Givati Brigade.
Netanel Silberg, Captain of the Reserve, 33 years old, was a commander of the Yahalom unit of the Combat Engineer Corps.
Sergeant 1st class. Lidor Yosef Kar**ani, 23, 8163rd Battalion of Combat Engineers.
Sergeant Major 1st Class Urija Bayer, 20, from the Maghlan Force.
Sergeant 1st Class Li** Aloush, 21 years old, from the Dufdewan unit.
Sergeant Major Etan Naeh, 26, from the Dufdewan Force.
Sergeant Major Tal Filiba, 23, Yahalom Unit.
Soldier Daniel Yaakov was killed in clashes with resistance groups in the Gaza Strip.
Hamas Tunnel
A few days ago, the Israelis reported the discovery of the largest Hamas tunnel in the Gaza Strip, located just 400 meters from the enclave border checkpoint.
Judging from the discovery footage, the tunnel was built with a roadheader and the passage was equipped with a ventilation system and a waterproofing system.
This huge tunnel system has branches and spans four kilometers (25 miles). Its entrance is just 400 meters (1,310 feet) from the Erez crossing, which Gazans pass through every day to enter Israel for work and receive at Israeli hospitals**.
The tunnel system is a project led by Mohammad Sinwar, brother of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and commander of the Hamas Khan Younis battalion.
This is probably the first more or less detailed ** from the Palestinian underground structure.
However, Israel has still not released footage of the "main Hamas base" under the Shifa Hospital, although it has insisted on its existence for months.
What's even more interesting is that the tunnel exit was occupied by the IDF as early as November, and the Israeli army has only now discovered it, and it is what Hamas left behind.

Fighting across Gaza
IDF soldiers have also established a stronghold on the northwestern outskirts of Jabaliya, with the main fighting continuing near the Shadiya Abu Ghazala school.
In addition, the Israelis surrounded the Oda Hospital, and several patients and employees were detained, including the director of the medical facility, Dr. Ahmed Muhana.
In the coastal areas, Israeli forces are trying to expand the area of control on Al Muk Street. For two days, violent clashes have been taking place at the local stadium and in the area of the Al-Qattan training centre, with neither side able to gain a foothold.
Meanwhile, in the Arrimal area, IDF soldiers advanced towards the Arafat School building, where hundreds of refugees were still inhabited.
Sporadic clashes continue in the heart of the Gaza Strip, in the Juhr al-Dik area. From time to time, Hamas broke into IDF positions and fired mortars at areas where Israeli troops were concentrated.
In the southern part of the Gaza Strip, little has changed on the Khan Younis front, where the Israeli army is mired in fighting in densely populated urban areas and is still far from the centre of the occupied settlements.
In the Gaza Strip, the Israeli army continues to attack targets deemed appropriate by the Israeli General Staff, including any buildings. This time it was another hospital - the Mubarak Children's Hospital in Khan Younis (located on the territory of the Nasser Medical Center).
* Dozens of refugees, including a large number of women, are shown to have taken refuge inside.
In general, the bombing of hospitals has become commonplace in the Gaza Strip, and perhaps few people pay attention to it anymore.
In the West Bank, Israeli security forces continue to routinely raid and mass-detain disgruntled people across the region. The most violent clashes have occurred in Aqaba, Farah, Nablus, Bir and Beit Umar. A number of people were injured in several settlements. At least 40 local residents** in the past 24 hours.
