Infantry, armor, and engineering forces of the 162nd Division, supported by the Israeli Air Force and Special Forces, raided the security quarter of the Hamas terrorist organization in the heart of Gaza City, near Shifaa Hospital.
The quarter serves as the core of Hamas' intelligence and operational activity. Among other things, he was also used to plan and prepare the forces for the murderous attack on October 7.

The Intelligence Headquarters, the Air Defense Headquarters and Hamas ministries – the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Police – are all located in this location. In addition, there are also the largest training facilities for combat in built-up areas, military outposts, warehouses and various weapons factories. The quarter is also home to the commanders' offices, underground infrastructure, and operations rooms from which Hamas conducts the fighting.

Over the past few days, the forces have been working to cleanse the area and neutralize the terrorist infrastructure on the ground, alongside continuous fighting. So far, more than 50 terrorists have been killed in the quarter during the fighting, intelligence documents have been found, and several significant tunnel shafts, weapons factories, and anti-tank launching positions have been destroyed.

All terrorist infrastructures are located in the heart of the civilian population – parks, schools, clinics and mosques. Another proof of Hamas' use of the residents of the Gaza Strip as human shields.
