Israel army says gains 'operational control' of Gaza port
The Israeli army said Thursday its troops had taken "operational control" of Gaza port, a key piece of infrastructure in the Palestinian territory where Israel is waging war with Hamas militants.
"In the past few days, in a joint operation, soldiers... took operational control of the Gaza harbour, which was controlled by the Hamas terrorist organization," the Israeli army said in a statement. "All buildings in the harbour area were cleared."
