Over the past day, the Israeli Air Force struck more than 130 targets across the Gaza Strip, including cells of terror operatives, buildings used by terror groups, observation posts, and other infrastructure, the military says.

Fighting is ongoing in northern Gaza’s Jabaliya, where the IDF says soldiers of the Paratroopers Brigade directed a drone strike against a Hamas weapons depot where eight operatives were gathered.

According to the military, the Hamas operatives were involved in rocket fire, launching drones, and observing Israeli forces in Gaza.

Separately, several more gunmen were killed by troops in the central Gaza Strip, the IDF adds.
