After the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas launched its deadly attack on Israel on October 7, the Israeli military bombards from the air, sea and land the Palestinian enclave where almost all of its 2.4 million residents are now displaced.

Today, he announced that the “98th Division has ended its operations in the provinces Khan Yunis and Deir al-Balakhafter about a month of simultaneous activities on the ground and under the ground.” The Israeli military regularly announces the discovery and destruction of tunnels of armed Palestinian organizations such as Hamas, which has been in power since 2007 in the Gaza Strip.

“During this operation, soldiers neutralized at least 250 terrorists and destroyed dozens of terrorist infrastructure,” the military added.

It is during this tunnel operation in Khan Yunis that the army recently recovered the bodies of six hostages. It also brought out of Gaza alive a hostage and the body of a soldier who had been killed and kidnapped on 7 October.

One of them, Amal al-Astal, 48, told AFP that she found her home “destroyed, like the neighbours'”, after 40 days away from them.

“We also found the body of a neighbor decomposing,” he added: the army “blowed everything up, it was crazy, we no longer recognize anything from our neighborhood.”

“Our house is now a pile of stones, we lost everything,” said Mustafa al-Sharfradi, 27. “We don’t have a backstage and we’ve already been displaced ten times, where do we go now?”
