Division 162 in the northern Gaza Strip is focused on dismantling the centers of gravity of Hamas. In the last week, more than 200 terrorists were killed and now the focus is on preventing the terrorist organization from regaining control of the sector.

"Most of the large balloons were blown up to Hamas - Now he has small balloons left that we will also take care of," the IDF says. The commander of Division 162, Lt. Col. Itzik Cohen, said: "This is an area that, in order to reach it at the beginning of the maneuver, we needed three divisions, now, two combat teams were needed"
