The Israeli military has identified improvised explosive devices (IEDs) as the primary threat to its ground forces operating in the Gaza Strip. According to Israeli military sources, over 70% of casualties among Israeli ground troops in Gaza in recent months have resulted from IEDs, with 27 of the 38 fatalities since the resumption of hostilities in March attributed to these devices. Concurrently, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have observed an increase in the boldness of Hamas fighters in Gaza. Recent military operations include an IDF airstrike targeting two militants who fired rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs) at the 7th Armored Brigade in northern Gaza. The IDF also destroyed a tunnel in the same area, uncovering a weapons cache inside. These developments underscore the ongoing intensity of the conflict and the evolving tactics employed by Hamas militants against Israeli forces.
