The IDF has withdrawn the Kiryati Brigade from the Gaza Strip and it has been replaced with other forces in the Khan Younis area, the military says.

Troops of the reserve armored brigade operated in the Khan Younis area in recent weeks, killing Hamas operatives and raiding the terror group's sites, the IDF says.

The IDF says the brigade also made use of drones to collect intelligence amid their operations, noting one incident where the reservists spotted a Hamas cell approaching them.

The troops called in an airstrike on the cell, the IDF says, attaching footage of the strike.
