The IDF says fighting continues against Hamas in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis and Maghazi in the Strip’s center.
In one incident in Maghazi, the IDF says, troops of the Golani Brigade spotted three Hamas gunmen coming out of a tunnel. The gunmen were then struck by an aircraft.
In another incident, the IDF says reservists of the Yiftah Brigade spotted eight Hamas operatives moving toward a school in Maghazi, and killed them with sniper fire.
In Khan Younis, the IDF says troops of the Givati Brigade spotted three Hamas operatives coming out of a building where weapons were stored, and called in an airstrike.
Also in the Khan Younis area, the Commando Brigade spotted two Hamas operatives, one planting an explosive device and the other observing from a rooftop. The IDF says says both operatives were killed in an airstrike by a fighter jet.
