IDF: Fighter jets hit mortar launch post after projectiles fired at troops in central Gaza

Israeli fighter jets and artillery forces struck a tunnel shaft and a mortar launching post in the central Gaza Strip after several projectiles were fired at troops operating in the area, the military says.

The IDF says there were no injuries in the mortar attack yesterday.

Separately, reservists of the Yiftah Brigade spotted a group of operatives near troops, before calling in a drone strike and artillery shelling, killing the cell, the IDF says.

Another operative, spotted by troops using a drone, was seen entering a building known to the army as being used by a terror group in central Gaza. The IDF says a fighter jet struck the site, killing the operative.

Additional infrastructure belonging to Gaza terror groups, including tunnels and buildings, as well as operatives, were struck over the past day, the military adds.
