The Current Fighting in Gaza

(Ha'aretz) Amos Harel - The intensity of combat in northern Gaza is declining. Two Hamas brigades in the north have been hit hard and have suffered thousands of casualties. Hamas is now staging mainly sporadic attacks by small units, while conducting a last-ditch battle in Daraj and Tuffah in eastern Gaza City. Other IDF offensive operations are focused mainly on Bureij in the center of Gaza and the Khan Yunis area. The rate of Israeli casualties recorded in the last few days has been lower than in the previous two weeks. Major engineering work is being carried out to level the area within Gaza beyond the border fence, where Israel intends to create a new security perimeter. Meanwhile, thousands of Gazans have returned to their destroyed neighborhoods in northern Gaza. It is likely that Hamas fighters without uniforms or visible weapons move among them, mainly in areas where the IDF has reduced its presence.
