Over the past day, the Israeli Air Force struck some 100 targets in the Gaza Strip, the military says.

The targets included tunnels, weapon depots, cells of operatives, and other infrastructure used by terror groups.

Hamas authorities report that at least 34 people were killed in Israeli strikes in Gaza over the previous 24 hours.

In Gaza City, the military says the 98th Division continues to expand its operations and, in the past day, destroyed Hamas infrastructure, including tunnel shafts, booby-trapped buildings, and positions used by terror operatives. Several Hamas operatives, including field commanders, were also killed, the army says.

The 162nd Division, which is also operating in Gaza City and the Kafr Jabalia area, killed several more operatives — including by directing a drone strike — and destroyed Hamas infrastructure, the IDF says.

Elsewhere in northern Gaza, the IDF says the 99th Division’s forces directed strikes on several Hamas infrastructures and killed operatives

In the Strip’s south, the Gaza Division destroyed additional Hamas sites, including tunnels, and killed several operatives in Khan Younis and Rafah.
