IDF Launches Major Offensive in Khan Younis to Crush Hamas Stronghold

Israeli forces from Divisions 98 and 36 have kicked off a large-scale military operation in Khan Younis, aiming to dismantle what the IDF calls a “terror city” modeled after its successful campaign in Rafah. The operation, which began this week, is expected to last several weeks as troops target Hamas infrastructure. So far, the forces have faced minimal resistance, encountering only roadside explosives that caused no casualties. The offensive is part of a broader push to weaken Hamas’s grip in southern Gaza, with military sources emphasizing a strategy of sustained pressure to disrupt terror networks
