JERUSALEM: The Israeli military said Friday (Aug 30) it had wrapped up a month-long operation in southern and central Gaza that it said killed more than 250 Palestinian fighters.
Palestinians gather at the site of an Israeli strike that destroyed several houses, amid the Israel-Hamas war, in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip Aug 27, 2024.
"The troops of the 98th Division have completed their divisional operation in the Khan Younis and Deir el-Balah area, after about a month of simultaneous above and underground operational activity," a military statement said. "As soon as we entered, there were tragedies and we could not recognise the landmarks of the neighbourhood."
