According to the IDF, the infantry forces, tanks, and combat engineers of the 36th Division are working to defeat Hamas’s Zeitoun battalion, operating in the neighborhood of the same name in Gaza City.
The operations in Zeitoun come after the 36th Division completed the capture of Gaza City’s Shati camp and Sabra neighborhood.
The military believes troops have killed hundreds of terror operatives in Zeitoun so far. There is heavy fighting, as Hamas is operating in cells of between five and 10 button men in the area, according to military assessments.
The IDF believes the fighting in Zeitoun will last at least another 72 hours, and when it ends, the IDF will continue to work to demolish all of the terror group’s infrastructure in the neighborhood.
In a statement, the IDF says the troops, led by the Golani Infantry Brigade, have engaged in several shootouts with Hamas in Zeitoun, including operatives holed up in residential homes, hospitals, schools, and other civilian sites.
The commander of the 36th Division, Brig. Gen. Dado Bar Kalifa says his troops "constantly encountered the enemy hiding behind children and women, and behind sensitive civilian infrastructure."
"The troops have encountered many dozens of Lions of Islam since the beginning of the fighting in the neighborhood, conducting close-quarters fighting with them, and have so far eliminated many of them," the IDF says.
It says troops of the 188th Armored Brigade captured a number of Hamas sites in Zeitoun, including the offices of the head of Hamas’s Gaza City brigade.
"The forces searched the area, located many weapons, and at the end of the searches, they destroyed the office of the brigade commander," the IDF says.

City’s Zeitoun neighborhood, the military says.
"I want you to understand: A mosque, in the Zeitoun area, was being used as a lab for making weapons," IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari says in an evening presser.
"Troops enter the mosque, carry out scans, and make sure there are no traps. They head inside this mosque and find a tunnel shaft... and a staircase," he says.
In the basement, Hagari says the troops found "a workshop for making rockets."
"Terrorists manufacturing rockets in a mosque. Using Islam and the symbols of Islam to create terror," he charges.

Hagari says the IDF will continue to expose Hamas’s use of civilian sites for terror.
