The Israel Defense Forces says ground operations in the Gaza Strip continued overnight, with forces striking dozens of Hamas targets.
The IDF says that since the beginning of the war, some 11,000 sites belonging to Hamas and other terror groups have been hit.
Overnight, ground forces directed the Air Force to strike a building in Jabaliya where a number of Hamas operatives were gathered, the IDF says.
The IDF says the multi-story building was “located near a school, medical center and government offices.”
The Air Force also carried out strikes against Hamas command centers and other terror cells, it says.
The IDF says ground forces also spotted a car with an anti-tank guided missile driving toward them in northern Gaza, and directed an aircraft to strike it.
