Gaza finds no calm, tough clashes continue between Israeli army, Hamas

The clashes between the Israeli army and Hamas have continued in parts of the Gaza Strip.

Hamas' military arm, Al-Qassam Brigades, said on Saturday that his fighters were “involved in zero-wide fierce battles with invading forces west of the Jabalia” camp north of Gaza. He also claimed the clashes occurred in Zaytoun, who is also in northern Gaza.

Israeli Defence Forces said Battalion 931 received information about Hamas militants who occupied buildings in the area.

“Consequently, troops launched a targeted attack on those structures”, the IDF said, CNN reported.

Israeli Army said Division 98 continued to fight Hamas at Khan Yunis in the south, supported by the Air Force. The IDF showed that an explosive device was detonated near a mosque while the 12th Goliath Battalion troops carried out a raid.

The Israeli force also reported numerous operations from other units in southern Gaza, including an attack on a Hamas command chamber and tunnel gaps.
