Israeli Defense Forces continue a careful progression into Gaza City
The ongoing Operation Gideon's Chariots B in Kansas City is now entering its third day, with significant developments taking place on various fronts.
The pace of civilian evacuation has noticeably accelerated in recent days, allowing for a more efficient deployment of Israeli forces. However, Hamas forces in the city center have been observed fortifying themselves and avoiding direct contact with Israeli forces.
Initially, the 36th Division was planned to join the operation alongside the first two divisions. However, the slow pace of civilian evacuation caused a delay in the 36th Division's deployment. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) assesses that the 36th Division will soon join the fighting.
Meanwhile, the 162nd and 98th divisions are advancing gradually in what the IDF calls the "probing phase." This phase involves the IDF learning the terrain and the enemy's movements, a crucial step in preparing for larger-scale operations.
Despite the lack of explicit information, the commander-in-chief of the IDF during Operation Gideon's Chariots B in Man City remains unnamed in the provided search results.
As the operation continues, the IDF's strategy appears to be focused on careful, methodical advancement, with a priority on minimising civilian casualties while effectively countering Hamas forces.
