The Israeli army announced on Friday that its forces have captured important Hamas bases in the Gaza Strip during two attacks, killing 150 'terrorists.' In a statement, the Israeli army said these attacks were led by the 401st Brigade. In the first attack, Israeli forces targeted the Bader base, the main base of Hamas's al-Shati refugee camp battalion. This base is located near civilian homes close to the refugee camp. During this attack, military headquarters and Hamas's rocket launch positions were destroyed. In another statement, the Israeli army announced that the 401st Brigade had captured another Hamas base in the area and successfully destroyed a weapons factory, rocket launch positions, and tunnels. In another attack, Israeli forces engaged in battle with armed individuals at the Blue Beach resort on the shores of Gaza City. In this battle, about 30 Hamas members fired anti-tank missiles at Israeli forces from inside the hotel. The Israeli army stated that after capturing these individuals, it was revealed that they were using hotel rooms as a shelter and a planning site for attacks. The Israeli army claims that approximately 150 Hamas members were killed during these battles in the al-Shati area. The Israeli army also stated that several Hamas commanders were killed in Jabalia in Gaza.
