On Thursday (Jan. 8), the Intelligence Corps Officer-in-Chief, Brigadier
General Yuval Halmish, found a sketch by Hamas that details on the deployment
of explosives and Hamas forces in the Al-Attara neighborhood in the northern
Gaza Strip. The map was found during Paratrooper Brigade forces operating
in the northern Gaza Strip and was translated from Arabic during the operation.
It describes, among other things, the location of explosive devices and firing
positions in the middle of the civilian population in the dense neighborhood,
which endanger the life of the civilians. Thats what Hamas has
been doing throughout the entirety of the operation perversely using
civilians as human shields, says Brig. Gen. Halmish. |
