The Israeli Air Force struck more than 40 targets in the Gaza Strip over the past day, including rocket launchers primed for attacks on Israel, the military says.
The primed rocket launchers were destroyed in the central Gaza Strip, where the IDF is carrying out a pinpoint operation against Hamas.
Amid the operation, on the outskirts of the Nuseirat camp, the military says troops killed numerous gunmen and destroyed sites used by terror groups over the past day, including by calling in airstrikes.
One airstrike was carried out against a cell that was operating an armed drone, according to the IDF.
The army also says that troops of the Nahal Brigade used a drone to kill a gunman, and killed another with sniper fire.
Other targets hit by the IAF in the past day included underground rocket launch positions, booby-trapped buildings, structures where operatives were gathered, observation posts, underground sites, and other infrastructure, the IDF adds.
