The Israel Defense Forces says ground forces are continuing to operate in the northern part of the Gaza Strip, killing Hamas gunmen and destroying sites belonging to the terror group.
The IDF says troops killed a number of Hamas gunmen who opened fire at the ground forces in the Strip, and other terrorists identified on the beach in Gaza, near the southern Israel community of Zikim.
According to the IDF, the ground troops, including tanks, also struck anti-tank guided missile positions, observation posts, and other Hamas infrastructure.
The forces also directed the Air Force to carry out strikes against buildings used by the terror group, the IDF adds.
The IDF publishes a video showing troops operating in Gaza today, as well as some of the recent airstrikes on the Strip.
