Dozens of targets belonging to terror groups in the Gaza Strip were struck by the Israeli Air Force over the past day, the military says.

Among the targets was a rocket launching site in northern Gaza, used in a recent attack on southern Israel, according to the IDF.

Meanwhile, during operations in southern Gaza’s Rafah, the IDF says troops with the 162nd Division raided Hamas sites, killed gunmen in close-quarters combat, and demolished infrastructure belonging to terror groups, including a booby-trapped building in the Tel Sultan neighborhood.

In the Netzarim Corridor of central Gaza, the 252nd Division is also continuing operations. The IDF says reservists with the division’s Jerusalem Brigade directed an airstrike against an observation post in the area.
