He said at a briefing that the Israeli military had now begun fighting Hamas in the Gaza City neighbourhoods of Daraj and Tuffah, having dismantled Hamas battalions further north, according to a report by the Times of Israel.

He also said that the tunnel network reportedly uncovered under Palestine Square in Gaza City was where “senior Hamas members managed the fighting on October 7”.
