The 98th Division Operating Alongside the 162nd Division in the Area of Gaza City in the Northern Gaza Strip
After several months of combat, the 98th Division began renewed activities in the Gaza Strip and is now operating in Gaza City, in the northern part of the Gaza Strip, alongside the 162nd Division.
As part of the ongoing combat efforts, the troops are operating in eastern Gaza City, expanding operational achievements on the ground, dismantling terrorist infrastructure both above and below ground, and eliminating terrorists from the various terrorist organizations in Gaza.
Prior to the 98th Division joining the operation, the Israeli Air Force, in coordination with the division’s Fire Control Center, eliminated dozens of terrorists in the area and carried out strikes to enable the ground entry of the division's troops, including the Commando Brigade and the 7th Brigade.
So far, approximately 100 terror targets have been struck including: terrorists, weapons storage facilities, operation centers, and enemy observation posts.
IDF troops continue to operate in the Gaza Strip in order to protect the civilians of the State of Israel.
