The Israeli Air Force struck some 140 targets in the Gaza Strip in the past day, including buildings used by terror groups, operatives, and other infrastructure, the military says.
The Israeli Navy also operated in Gaza, shelling a weapons depot and other buildings Hamas operatives were using, in the Strip’s north, the IDF says.
The strikes come as ground troops from three IDF divisions continue to push into Gaza City.
The IDF says the 36th Division destroyed several buildings used by Hamas to observe forces, and directed a drone strike that killed a cell of gunmen planting bombs; troops of the 98th Division killed a Hamas operative who had launched mortars at the forces; and soldiers of the 162nd Division killed several operatives and neutralized booby traps.
Elsewhere, in northern Gaza, the 99th Division hit several more buildings used by Hamas for surveillance; and in the Strip’s south, soldiers of the Gaza Division killed several operatives near the forces in the southern Khan Younis area, the IDF adds.
