The IDF announces that troops operating across the Gaza Strip struck over 130 terror targets in the past 24 hours, including command centers, weapons depots, rocket launchers, and terrorist cells. The aerial strikes were carried out in coordination with ground troops engaged in active operations throughout the Strip.

In the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis, combat teams from the Kfir Brigade and the 188th Armored Brigade raided multiple Hamas positions, locating and seizing combat equipment. Meanwhile, the IDF’s Gaza Division uncovered tunnel shafts and dismantled terror infrastructure in Rafah’s Jenina neighborhood.

Further north, the 98th Division, an elite formation of paratroopers and commando units, eliminated terrorists in Gaza City and struck military compounds, while the Commando Brigade destroyed surveillance equipment and additional infrastructure.

The 99th Division continued its operations to locate and demolish both surface and subterranean terror assets, including an explosives warehouse hit by the IDF’s 990th Reserve Artillery Regimen. Northern Brigade forces also struck several military structures.

In parallel, the 162nd Division reported the elimination of terrorists in the Jabaliya area and the outskirts of the Daraj and Tuffah neighborhoods.
