The IDF says the Gaza terror cell responsible for yesterday’s rocket fire at Sderot and Ibim was “eliminated” in a drone strike just minutes after the launch from northern Gaza.
Separately, it says troops across multiple divisions have continued to operate in the Strip.
Troops of the 162nd Division have targeted terrorists and underground infrastructure in the north, it says, while the 188th Armored Brigade in the south recently uncovered rifles, pistols, magazines, and mortars in the Khan Younis area.
Over the past 24 hours, the Israeli Air Force struck around 150 targets, including underground routes, military structures, sniper positions, and other terror infrastructure, the military says.
The IDF says its operations, carried out with intelligence from the Shin Bet and Military Intelligence Directorate, aim to eliminate threats against Israeli civilians.
