IDF forces captured one of the main landmarks in Gaza city recently, as Operation Swords of Iron entered its second month.
Upon reaching "Palestine Square," the troops raised Israel's blue and white national flag in what was yet another blow to the terrorist group ruling the Gaza STrip, some 60 days after it launched its unprecedented massacre of Israelis in the early morning hours of Oct. 7.

The symbolic capture was captured with drone footage, and IDF Spokesperson Brigadier General Daniel Hagari officially declared Sunday that the IDF has taken over the square.

Satellite footage shows the square completely destroyed, with an Israeli flag flying inside. The square itself is located on Al-Mukhtar Street, one of Gaza City's main streets.
This is yet another symbolic site that has fallen, after the footage of IDF soldiers at the Supreme Court and the Parliament.
