Fiad’s reappearance is an example of the problem the IDF has faced in Gaza throughout the war. Beit Hanun is a town in northern Gaza close to the Israeli border.
The outskirts of Beit Hanun are less than two kilometers from Sderot. This area has been used to threaten Israel for years.
Rockets have often been fired from Beit Hanun. The urban area has also often been heavily damaged in past rounds of conflict.
Hamas always returns, however, and uses it to threaten Israel.
