The Israeli Air Force struck over 140 targets in the Gaza Strip in the past day, the military says.

The targets hit by the IAF included terror operatives, tunnels, buildings used by terror groups, and other infrastructure, according to the IDF.

The Hamas-run health ministry reported yesterday that 83 Palestinians were killed over the previous 24 hours.

In Gaza City, the military says the 98th, 36th, and 162nd divisions continue to destroy Hamas sites — including tunnels — kill operatives, and locate weapons amid a new offensive against Hamas.

In addition to the IAF strikes, the 282nd Artillery Regiment shelled some 35 sites in Gaza City, including buildings used by Hamas and operatives, as part of support for the 36th Division, the IDF adds.

Elsewhere in north Gaza, outside of Gaza City, the military says troops of the 99th Division killed several operatives who approached forces.
