Air Force struck 30 targets in Gaza over the past day, army says

Israeli fighter jets, attack helicopters, and drones struck more than 30 targets in Gaza over the past day, as part of support for ground forces operating in the Strip, the military says.

The IDF says the targets included weapon depots, buildings used by Hamas, tunnel shafts, and other infrastructure.

The strikes come as troops continue to battle the terror group in southern Gaza’s Rafah, in Gaza City’s Shejaiya, and in the Netzarim Corridor in the Strip’s center.

In Rafah, the IDF says, troops of the Nahal Brigade ambushed a group of gunmen in a vehicle heading toward an area where forces were operating. The troops opened fire at the car, killing the gunmen.

In Shejaiya, troops of the 7th Armored Brigade located a large amount of weaponry and other military equipment used by terror groups, according to the military.

And in the Netzarim Corridor, the IDF says troops with the 99th Division killed several gunmen in close-quarters combat and located weapons and military equipment.
