The IDF says it has concluded its operations in the southern Gaza town of Khuza�a, located on the outskirts of Khan Younis. Over the course of the military campaign, carried out by the 5th Reserve Brigade, a large number of Hamas operatives were killed and Hamas infrastructure targeted and destroyed.

The IDF launched this operation in late December, with a specific focus on targeting members of Hamas responsible for the October 7 attack on the Israeli border community of Nir Oz.

According to the IDF, the 5th Brigade successfully demolished numerous Hamas facilities in Khuza�a, including rocket launchers, observation posts, weapon caches, approximately 40 tunnel entrances,
and extensive underground networks. The IDF said that a substantial portion of the Hamas infrastructure in Khuza�a was concealed within schools and other public buildings.
