continue in con units because the way tunnels work though the Hamas gangsters, battalions are driven to the south of the Gaza Strip,

they have access to Khan Yunus, generally understood to be in the middle,

but it's a mile and a's about a mile and a half from

0:43.1

Rafa I've been in Rafa you can see Khan Yunus's towers the combat continues
