IDF describes fighting in renewed northern Gaza offensive

With a new operation in northern Gaza’s Jabaliya, the IDF says troops have killed several gunmen and located numerous weapons.

Meanwhile, the military says an Israeli Air Force drone struck a rocket launching site used by terrorists to fire rockets at the southern coastal city of Ashkelon earlier today.

The raid in Jabaliya was launched last night by the 162nd Division’s 401st and 460th armored brigades. The military says the soldiers of the division located many weapons today and encountered several cells of gunmen.

In one incident, troops of the 401st Brigade shelled two terror operatives in a building amid an exchange of fire, the IDF says.
