The IDF has managed to destroy the Hamas' infrastructure in northern Gaza:

On the eve of the three-month mark of the Israel-Hamas war, the Israel Defense Forces said Saturday evening it had completed the dismantlement of Hamas’s “military framework” in the northern Gaza Strip.

Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said at a press conference that the military was now focused on dismantling Hamas in central and southern Gaza.

Saturday also saw the IDF and Shin Bet say that the commander of Hamas’s Nuseirat battalion in central Gaza, Ismail Siraj, and his deputy, Ahmed Wahaba, were killed in an airstrike in the Strip. The battalion was responsible for the attacks on Kibbutz Be’eri on October 7 and the massacres that took place there and in other border communities.

The operation was not without innocent casualties on our side, sadly:

The IDF also announced the death of an officer killed during fighting in the northern Gaza Strip over the weekend, bringing the toll of slain troops since the start of the ground offensive against Hamas to 176.

He was named as Lt. Col. Roee Yohay Yosef Mordechay, 31, a commander at the Nahal Brigade’s training base, from Tel Aviv. Mordechay had been tapped to be the next commander of Nahal’s 50th Battalion before he was killed.

While it's good when murderous criminals are slain, it's very sad when good Israeli soldiers combating evil end up dead. Mordecay should be honored for the important duty he performed to put an end to the jihadists whom the IDF smashed.
