Israeli Forces Take Over Hamas Parliament Building, Others Inside Gaza

The IDF on Tuesday announced that it had captured a number of Hamas governmental sites in the heart of Gaza City as its troops engaged in fierce battles with Hamas gunmen in the city, with the Hamas Parliament building among those captured by the Israelis.

The military said that troops of its 7th Armored Brigade and Golani Infantry Brigade captured several Hamas governmental sites in the Gaza City neighborhoods of Sheikh Ijlin and Rimal.

Among the locations captured by the troops were the Hamas parliament, the government complex, and the police headquarters.

Troops also captured the Hamas governor’s house in Gaza, which housed Hamas offices for its military wing and police, offices of Hamas’s intelligence division, and other sites that were used to prepare for the October 7 onslaught, the army said.

It charged that a university engineering building raided by troops “served as an institute for the production and development of weapons,” and said soldiers also captured a Hamas compound with a training base, command center, interrogation rooms, and detention cells.

 A photo circulated on social media Tuesday morning showed troops of the IDF’s Golani Brigade inside Hamas’s military police headquarters in the Gaza Strip, after capturing the site. The soldiers could be seen holding an Israeli flag and a flag of Golani’s 13th Battalion. It is unclear when the photo was taken.

On Monday, a similar photo emerged showing Golani Brigade troops inside Gaza’s parliament building.

Just north of the city center, the IDF’s 162nd Division completed its takeover of the coastal al-Shati refugee camp, a warren of homes and shanties home to an estimated 150,000 people who fled ahead of the Israeli offensive.

Troops battled some 200 Hamas terrorists in at least four separate clashes in the camp over the several hours Tuesday completing the capture of the area, the IDF said.

The army called the neighborhood a main Hamas stronghold, and home base of a Hamas cell that took part in the October 7 massacres. “Inside the camp, there is a lot of enemy infrastructure and many forces of Hamas were concentrated there,” the army said.
