Over the past day, Israeli fighter jets and drones struck more than 75 targets in the Gaza Strip, the military says.

The IDF says the targets included weapon depots, rocket launchers — including one in Jabaliya used to attack Ashkelon and one in central Gaza primed for long-range attacks — buildings used by terror groups, observation posts, and other infrastructure, as well as cells of terror operatives.

In Jabaliya, the IDF says, it has expanded operations to the eastern part of the city in northern Gaza, during which troops killed numerous gunmen and located weapons. Tunnel shafts and a bomb-making lab were also located and destroyed, the army says.

In central Gaza, troops killed several more operatives in clashes and with tank shelling, the IDF says.
