Meanwhile, in Gaza City, the military says troops of the 7th Armored Brigade directed airstrikes on launchers used to fire anti-tank missiles at the forces.
In the past day, the IDF says the Israeli Air Force carried out strikes on over 100 terror targets across Gaza, including cells of operatives, tunnels, buildings used by Hamas, weapon depots, and anti-tank launch positions.
The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza reported yesterday that 89 people had been killed in the previous 24 hours.
