The military says dozens of terror operatives have been killed during operations in the Gaza Strip in recent days.
In a statement, the IDF says that troops of the 252nd Reserve Division and Gaza Division have been operating in several areas of Gaza to expand Israel’s buffer zone along the border with the Strip.

Amid the operations, troops have killed dozens of operatives and destroyed terror infrastructure, including rocket launchers, the military says.
The IDF says Israeli Air Force fighter jets, drones and helicopters, as well as Navy vessels, carried out strikes on numerous targets in Gaza, including as support for the ground forces.

Hamas has said that nearly 700 people have been killed by Israel since the military resumed its military activity in Gaza last week. The figure has not been verified and does not differentiate between civilians and combatants.
