The IDF confirms that in the past two weeks, an operation to destroy the Khuza'eh neighborhood in eastern Khan Yunis - the neighborhood from which the massacre began in Kibbutz Nir Oz on October 7 - has been completed.
Over the past two weeks, IDF engineering forces from Battalion 605 have destroyed all the houses in the neighborhood. The 605th Battalion commander who commanded the operation concluded in a letter to his subordinates: "Within a few days, we managed to subdue the terrorist stronghold. Khuza'eh no longer exists. We prepared the enemy with force and without giving him the opportunity to strike back."
This morning, the Khuza'eh council announced that the town was a disaster-stricken area - and that the extent of the destruction there is beyond all estimates.
Satellite images released in recent days also clearly show its complete destruction.
