Dozens of terror operatives were killed in a series of airstrikes in Gaza City’s Shejaiya neighborhood over the past day, amid an ongoing IDF operation there, the military says.

The IDF says troops under the 98th Division killed several more gunmen in close-quarters combat in Shejaiya, and located weaponry during raids.

The dozens of sites struck by aircraft in Shejaiya included weapons manufacturing and storage sites, the military says.

Meanwhile, in southern Gaza’s Rafah, the IDF says it carried out a drone strike against an operative who launched an anti-tank projectile at troops. In the Netzarim Corridor in the Strip’s center, it carried out a separate strike against an operative who launched a rocket at troops, the military says.
