Dozens of gunmen were killed and sites belonging to Hamas and other terror groups were destroyed amid operations in the Gaza Strip over the past day, the IDF says in a morning update.
More than 30 Hamas sites, including booby-trapped buildings, tunnels, and weapon depots, were targeted in airstrikes across Gaza, according to the military.
The IDF says that in southern Gaza’s Rafah, troops under the 162nd Division killed more than 20 terror operatives by directing airstrikes.
Further north, in Khan Younis, troops with the 98th Division directed strikes against several Hamas operatives at a weapons depot. In another strike in Khan Younis, a Palestinian Islamic Jihad operative responsible for rocket launches was killed, the IDF says.
Meanwhile, in the Netzarim Corridor of central Gaza, the IDF says that several cells of gunmen were killed and a weapons depot was destroyed in strikes directed by the 252nd Reserve Division.
