Israel announced its forces killed dozens of Hamas terrorists in Gaza on Monday, the latest fighting amid Israel’s war with Hamas in Gaza.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Israeli Defense Forces said it killed roughly 40 terrorists during its expanded ground operation in Khan Younis in the Gaza Strip over a 24-hour period. Soldiers also found various weapon stashes in an underground tunnel network used by Hamas, officials said.<\/p>\n

“Over the past day, IDF troops expanded ground operations in Khan Younis and conducted strikes in which approximately 40 terrorists were killed,” the IDF wrote on Telegram.<\/p>\n

“In addition, significant terror tunnel shafts were located, as well as a variety of weapons, including 12 AK-47 rifles, four loaded RPG launchers, dozens of grenades, cartridges, and military vests,” the statement continued.<\/p>\n

The IDF also said it “conducted a targeted raid on a military compound in Khan Younis” and that the Israeli Navy “struck military posts, storage facilities, and vessels used by Hamas\u2019s naval forces.”<\/p>\n

The targeted attack was the latest in a surge of violence inside the Gaza Strip since Israel launched a counteroffensive against Hamas, initially prompted when Hamas-led forces invaded Israeli border communities on Oct. 7, 2023, when Hamas\u00a0launched its\u00a0largest attack<\/u>\u00a0against the Jewish State.<\/p>\n

Israel reports that 182 of its soldiers have been killed inside the Gaza Strip during its fight against Hamas terrorists.<\/p>\n

Civilians have repeatedly been caught in the crossfire of the conflict, with thousands wounded and many others having been taken hostage by Hamas and raped, tortured or murdered.<\/p>\n

The international community continues to pressure both sides to pursue peace or agree to a cease-fire to ensure the safe release of hostages and so that humanitarian care can be given to these civilians.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Israeli forces, which have secured operational control over Northern Gaza, have said its war with Hamas could continue for several more months.<\/p>\n
