Reservists with the 252nd Division called in an airstrike against a building in Gaza City where they spotted a terror operative working to place booby traps, the IDF says in a morning update.
The army says the building was located close to where the reservists were operating. A fighter jet struck the building.
Separately, a cell of gunmen was killed by the division, and several sites used by terror groups were destroyed in the past day, the IDF says.
In southern Gaza’s Rafah, the IDF says troops with the 162nd Division continued operations in the past day, locating many weapons and killing several cells of gunmen.
