About the battle
The battle of Beit Hanoun began on 27 October 2023 at the start of the Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip. On 18 December 2023, Israeli forces had prematurely signalled that they had full control over Beit Hanoun and had destroyed Hamas' Beit Hanoun Battalion. However, clashes continued in the town. Israeli forces withdrew from the town on 24 December. Subsequently, some Palestinian militants infiltrated back into the town and conducted attacks against Israeli forces to the east.
