Dozens of targets were struck by Israeli fighter jets across the Gaza Strip over the past day, the military says.

The targets included a rocket launching site in Gaza City’s Zeitoun neighborhood, which was primed for an attack on Israel, as well as buildings used by terror groups and cells of gunmen, according to the IDF.

The strikes come as troops continue to operate in southern Gaza’s Rafah and Khan Younis.

In Rafah, troops with the 162nd Division raided more Hamas sites, and killed several cells of gunmen in close-quarters combat, according to the IDF.
