The IDF says it carried out strikes on more than 450 targets in the Gaza Strip over the past day, as ground operations continue.
The sites include military compounds, observation posts, and weapons depots, according to the IDF.
Troops of the 7th Armored Brigade directed several Israeli Air Force drones to carry out strikes against Hamas operatives in the Khan Younis area, it says.
According to the IDF, the series of strikes lasted some two hours, and “numerous” Hamas operatives were killed.
In another incident, three Hamas operatives who were identified by troops were targeted by another IAF drone.
The IDF says two were killed, while the third revealed a hideout of additional operatives, from which they planned to fire rockets at Israel.
The Israeli Navy has also been carrying out strikes in Gaza over the past day, using guided munitions and shells.
The IDF says the Navy hit sites belonging to the Hamas naval forces, in central and southern Gaza.
