“The 162nd Division has operational control in Jabaliya,” Cohen says. “Jabaliya is not the Jabaliya it used to be, we killed hundreds of terrorists in Jabaliya and arrested around 500 suspects in terror activities, some of whom took part in the events of October 7,” he says.
According to military assessments, some 1,000 Hamas operatives have been killed by troops in Jabaliya. Another 3,500 Palestinians have been captured by the IDF, of which at least 500 are suspected of being involved in terror, including the October 7 attacks on southern Israel. …
Channel 12 reports — without citing any sources — that IDF troops in recent days twice reached tunnels in northern Gaza where they believe Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was hiding just before they arrived.
[He’s still in northern Gaza? That would be surprising. Earlier rumors had Sinwar fleeing early in the war to Khan Younis in an ambulance, but perhaps the Israeli offensive in the south pushed Sinwar back north. I’d treat that claim skeptically for now. — Ed]
