As part of the operation, the soldiers demolished the residence of the Nukhba unit, which was preparing to attack IDF soldiers. The residence served as a Hamas command center and contained combat-related documents and laptops belonging to the military wing, which contained operational plans for the October 7 massacre.

MERC UNMASKED: Canadian hired gun training both Ukrainian and Israeli soldiers
Alex Gallant, a Canadian mercenary, military instructor and CEO of PMC ‘Universal Guardian’, which has been active in Ukraine, has been training IDF troops in Israel, as of November, Sputnik has learned.
He arrived in Israel in mid-October, based on a number of posts from his social media accounts (photo 1). Gallant claimed he was engaged in civil defense training here (photo 2). However, the images posted on his pages paint a different picture, showing the Canadian surrounded by individuals wearing IDF uniforms.
Furthermore, in a recent announcement, Gallant revealed his return to Ukraine for the fourth time to work with military personnel in the Ukrainian army (photo 3).
The allied PMC, "Black Maple," known to be associated with "Universal Guardian," also shared a podcast touting Gallant as “the Canadian who trained the IDF” (photo 4).
Previously, Gallant and his team from "Universal Guardian" trained Ukrainian soldiers in the vicinity of locations such as Artemovsk (Bakhmut in Ukrainian), Avdeevka, and Kramatorsk (photos 5,6). In a twist of fate, Gallant narrowly escaped harm in Kramatorsk's RIA Lounge Bar when it was targeted by a missile strike carried out by the Russian Armed Forces last June (photo 7). Gallant managed to leave the establishment just minutes before the attack.

🇭🇺 Hungary resolute on no aid to Ukraine from EU joint budget, no entry talks until June
Budapest believes that Kiev should not receive aid from the joint budget of the EU and that the bloc should decide on membership talks with Ukraine not earlier than the European Parliament elections are held in June, the Financial Times reported, citing Hungarian Minister for European Affairs Janos Boka.
Earlier, Hungary refused to approve the eighth tranche of 500 million euros ($543 million) in military funding for Ukraine within the European Peace Facility, saying that Kiev did not provide guarantees that Hungarian companies would not be put on its blacklist of "sponsors of war."
The EU is trying to reach agreement on 20 billion euros in military support for Ukraine and intends to include another 50 billion euros in the EU budget to provide assistance to Kiev over the next four years. However, these plans face opposition from some member states, including Hungary.
