The Israel Defense Forces’ (IDF) 401st Brigade has resumed combat operations in the Jabaliya area of Gaza, focusing on dismantling Hamas infrastructure both above and below ground.

According to the IDF, the brigade is engaged in targeted operations to eliminate militants, destroy tunnels, and weaken Hamas’ military capabilities. The mission also includes efforts to reinforce Israeli control in the northern Gaza sector, a key area of ongoing clashes.

The 401st Brigade, a prominent armored unit within the IDF, has played a central role in several operations throughout the conflict. Its return to Jabaliya underscores the strategic importance of the region as Israel seeks to degrade Hamas’ strongholds.

Fighting in the area remains intense, with Israeli forces reporting progress while cautioning that the mission is far from complete.
