In a morning update on activity in the Gaza Strip over the past day, the IDF releases footage showing two Hamas gunmen spotted in Maghazi, before they are targeted in an airstrike.

Troops of the Golani Brigade identified the operatives moving toward a building they were in, before calling in the strike, the IDF says.

Meanwhile, in northern Gaza, the IDF says troops of the 401st Armored Brigade discovered and destroyed several rocket launchers in the al-Atatra neighborhood, used in recent attacks against Israel.

In southern Gaza’s Khan Younis, combat intelligence collection troops operating with the 7th Armored Brigade spotted two Hamas gunmen and called in an airstrike against them, the IDF says.

The IDF says the 7th Brigade killed five more Hamas operatives with tank shelling and located a tunnel shaft in Khan Younis.

Also in Khan Younis, the Givati Brigade, with air support, killed nine Hamas operatives during separate incidents over the past day.
