The Israel Defense Forces says ground operations continued in the northern Gaza Strip overnight, with troops killing dozens of Hamas members.
The IDF says ground forces killed terrorists who barricaded themselves in buildings in the Gaza Strip, and tried to attack troops.
In one incident, ground troops directed the Air Force to carry out a drone strike on a Hamas staging ground, killing more than 20 operatives, according to the IDF.
In another incident, the IDF says a fighter jet struck an anti-tank guided missile launch position and a number of Hamas operatives who were identified by ground troops near the Al-Azhar University in Gaza City.
The IDF says that over the past day it has carried out strikes against some 600 Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip, including weapons storage sites, hideouts, and staging grounds.
