IDF says Gaza airstrikes targeted rocket launchers, weapons depots

Israeli fighter jets and other aircraft struck dozens of targets across the Gaza Strip over the past day, the military says.

The targets included weapon depots, buildings used by terror groups, tunnel shafts, and other infrastructure.

One drone strike hit a position from which rockets were launched at Israel previously, and another targeted a launcher and a terror cell that fired mortars at the border community of Kissufim, the IDF says.

The strikes come as troops continue to operate in the east Bureij and east Deir al-Balah areas in central Gaza, in Rafah in the Strip’s south, and in the Netzarim Corridor.

In Bureij and Deir al-Balah, the IDF says troops located several tunnel shafts and weapons, and killed several members of Hamas’s rocket unit with tank shelling.

In Rafah, several more tunnel shafts were located, along with caches of weapons, the military adds.
