The IDF says it carried out airstrikes on over 150 “terror targets” in the Gaza Strip over the past day.
The targets included anti-tank missile launch posts, cells of operatives and buildings used by terror groups to carry out attacks on forces, the army says.
Amid ground operations, the IDF says the 252nd Division killed several operatives who were at an observation post in northern Gaza; the Gaza Division destroyed several tunnel shafts and other infrastructure and killed several operatives in Rafah; and the 36th Division destroyed additional Hamas infrastructure and killed operatives trying to plant a bomb in the Morag Corridor area.
Palestinian media reports that over 75 people have been killed by Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip since this morning. The figures cannot be independently verified and do not differentiate between civilians and combatants.
