Israeli aircraft carried out strikes against some 25 targets in the Gaza Strip over the past day, the military says.

One drone strike hit a rocket launching position that the IDF says was used in previous attacks on the southern city of Ashdod.

Another rocket launching site was hit overnight in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis, which the IDF says was used in attacks on troops inside Gaza.

In central Gaza, the IDF says reservists of the Yiftah Brigade spotted a cell of gunmen preparing to open fire at troops from a building, before calling in a fighter jet airstrike, killing the operatives.

Another airstrike directed by troops in central Gaza struck a vehicle with eight Hamas operatives in it, the military says.

The IDF says additional airstrikes targeted buildings used by terror groups, weapon depots, underground sites, and other infrastructure.
