The IDF eliminated Saturday Hamas’ Sabra Tel al-Hawa Battalion, after a week and a half of intense battles led by the Golani Brigade.

The Sabra Battalion of the terror organization is considered one of the four strongest battalions in Gaza City. According to Golani Brigade data, its troops, together with forces from the 7th Armored Brigade, undoubtedly killed about 300 terrorists. And approximately 150 more are estimated to be under the rubble of buildings or in destroyed tunnels.

The combat, which included extensive operational and intelligence efforts by the IDF and the Shin Bet, was deliberate and methodical over some ten days. It took place in several neighborhoods in the western and southern parts of Gaza City, where the Sabra Battalion had spread after its commander, Mustafa Dalul, was eliminated. Commanders of the brigades were either killed or injured during the battles and Israel’s air raids.
