BY A STAFF REPORTER: The Bislamach Brigade — the IDF’s School for Infantry Corps Professions and Squad Commanders in wartime, replaces the Paratroopers Brigade in Khan Younis — after the latter was withdrawn from the Gaza Strip. The IDF says the brigade immediately joined the fighting against Hamas in Khan Younis, under the 98th Division.

In an incident yesterday, troops of the brigade spotted two gunmen, including one carrying an explosive device, and directed an attack helicopter to strike the pair, the IDF says.

Meanwhile, the IDF says the 7th Armored Brigade raided several Hamas sites in western Khan Younis, where troops found a weapons depot. The troops also called in an airstrike against a four-man Hamas cell spotted nearby, the military adds.
