The civilians recorded by the military said they hoped that the IDF would continue its fight against the terror group until its defeat and removed from a position of power. "Kill them, on behalf of the people," one man said. "I'm sitting here alone, everything is destroyed while they are all abroad, staying in hotels," he said.
"May God curse them and those who chose them," another resident of Gaza told the IDF intelligence soldier. "They destroyed us and took us back 100 years. May disaster befall them. We are captives of them (Hamas). These dogs are abusing their power over us."
Meanwhile, the IDF ground offensive continued, as forces identified two armed terrorists advancing toward a compound where troops were stationed. Swift action was taken as the ground forces directed an IDF aircraft to eliminate the terrorists, preventing their attack.
In Al-Atatra, IDF units discovered and neutralized several launch pits used for firing rockets into Israeli territory.
In a separate incident that unfolded in Khan Younis, troops pinpointed two armed terrorists. Coordinating with an IDF aircraft, the troops successfully eliminated the threat. Additionally, IDF tanks eliminated five terrorists and uncovered an underground shaft in the city's vicinity.
