IDF soldiers say Hamas is working to bolster its position along the ceasefire line, using women and children to probe Israel’s border security for weaknesses while becoming increasingly daring in its infiltration attempts
Hamas is ratcheting up its operations along the ceasefire line inside of the Gaza Strip, according to a report by Israel’s Galei Tzahal radio, with increasingly daring attempts to infiltrate the Israeli-controlled side.
Soldiers from the IDF’s Alexandroni Brigade told Galei Tzahal that Hamas has begun systematically testing IDF forces along the Yellow Line on a daily basis, often using women and children to probe for weak spots in the IDF’s defenses.
One Alexandroni Brigade soldier told Galei Tzahal that the use of civilians by Hamas to test for holes in the army’s defensive line creates a “dilemma” for soldiers.
