IDF Declares Victory Over Hamas’ Rafah Brigade

The so called ‘experts’ from the Left insisted that an Israeli invasion of Rafah would result in massive levels of civilian casualties. As usual, the ‘experts’ from the Left were full of shit. Israel has swiftly eliminated Hamas’s Rafah brigade, while maintaining a remarkably low combatant-to-civilian death ratio of roughly 1:1.

The Israel Defense Forces has defeated Hamas’s Rafah brigade, the military declared on Thursday after four months of targeted raids in the area of the Gaza Strip’s southernmost city near the border with Egypt.

Since the start of the Rafah operation on May 6, troops have killed more than 2,000 Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists and destroyed some eight miles of underground smuggling and attack routes, according to an Israeli army statement on Thursday evening.

“During these operations, the troops have dismantled the Rafah brigade of the Hamas terrorist organization,” the military formally declared.

In recent weeks, the IDF’s Nahal Brigade, Givati Brigade, 401st Brigade, Yahalom combat engineering unit and Shayetet 13 naval commando unit have been operating in Tel al-Sultan, western Rafah, the IDF said.

In “intelligence-based targeted” operations, troops killed more than 250 terrorists, including the commander of Hamas’s Tel al-Sultan Battalion, Mahmoud Hamdan, and most of the battalion’s chain of command.

Troops destroyed some 80% of tunnels located near and beneath the Philadelphi Corridor, the army statement noted, using the IDF’s name for the 8.5-mile-long land strip along the border with Egypt. It added that forces continue to discover and destroy underground routes.
