The Israel Defense Forces says it has bombed 120 targets in the Gaza Strip over the past 24 hours, including 10 rocket launchers.
According to IDF Spokesperson Hidai Zilberman, many of the strikes were conducted in the affluent Rimal neighborhood of Gaza City, home to many Hamas leaders.
Zilberman says the IDF has an “intensive night ahead of us,” as it prepares to strike “new locations” and to continue targeting Hamas’s sprawling underground tunnel network, which Israel refers to as “the metro.” IDF jets have bombed various parts of this subterranean passage complex every night for the past four nights, destroying more than 120 kilometers (75 miles) of tunnels.
