Caption: **VIDEO AVAILABLE: CONTACT INFO@COVERMG.COM TO RECEIVE** This video footage and these images show battles taking place in the heart of Gaza City from the perspective of Israeli troops. Israel’s 162nd Division is fighting in the north and centre of the Gaza Strip on Monday (5February2024) as the country’s war against Hamas continues. The commander of the 162nd Division: "The forces operating under the division are preventing Hamas from rebuilding its capabilities, killing hundreds of terrorists and arresting dozens of others.” During the past week, the 162nd Division began a division-level raid in the centre and north of Gaza City and in Al-Shati. The Nachal Brigade and 401st Brigade combat teams returned to areas where IDF troops had previously operated, in order to act against terrorist targets. The concept of the operation is for the division to conduct a thorough and comprehensive raid in a selected area. Officials claimed the forces have killed hundreds of Hamas operatives, arrested dozens of terrorists for investigation, and located large quantities of weapons. Commander of the 162nd Division, BG Itzik Cohen: "The 162nd Division, which has been fighting for over 100 days in Gaza, is intensifying the pace of operations and the pressure on Hamas remaining in the area. The division is currently in the midst of an operation in Al-Shati, operating against strategic Hamas targets above and below ground. This is an area that initially required three divisions and three days to reach. Now, two combat teams reached the same area within an hour and a half. The forces operating under the division are preventing Hamas from rebuilding its capabilities, killing hundreds of terrorists and arresting dozens of others." Estimates from the Hamas=run Gazan health ministry put the number of killed in Gaza at at least 27,478. Israel’s incursion into Gaza followed the brutal Hamas attacks on Israel on 7 October - which killed an estimated 1,200, the taking of hostages, and credible accusations of rape and other atrocities
