In a summary of its activities over the past week, the IDF says it struck more than 40 sites belonging to terror groups in the Gaza Strip, killed over 100 operatives, and located several tunnel shafts.

The sites in Gaza included command and control centers embedded within schools and other civilian sites, according to the IDF.

In the north, the military says some 50 airstrikes were carried out against Hezbollah sites in Lebanon over the past week, including weapon depots. Dozens of rocket launchers in Lebanon were also struck, the IDF says.

In the West Bank, more than 35 gunmen were killed and some 45 were detained amid an operation in the Jenin, Tulkarem and Far’a area, according to the military.

Also in the West Bank, dozens of firearms were seized, dozens of explosive devices were neutralized and three bomb-making labs were destroyed, the IDF adds.
