As part of the fighting in the northern Gaza Strip, the fighters carried out a raid on the Shifa Hospital. In the hospital, they located weapons and terrorist infrastructure that were used by the terrorist organization Hamas, such as: weapons and cartridges, grenades, weapons equipment disguised in medical treatment suitcases and anti-tank charges. 

In the long and complex raid on Shifa Hospital, the forces used advanced technologies in the underground medium and located a tunnel shaft which revealed the route of a terrorist tunnel under the hospital.

Before entering the Gaza Strip, forces from the Shaldag unit operated in the area surrounding Gaza. On Saturday, October 7th, a force was sent to the area and reached the territory of Kibbutz Bari, where the fighters worked for long hours to cleanse the kibbutz of terrorists and rescue the residents. 

During the following days, they fought face-to-face battles against terrorists in several combat centers, including Kibbutz Bari, Alumim and Ra'im. During those battles, the fighters acted with determination and striving for contact, eliminated dozens of terrorists and rescued dozens of residents.
