The IDF says its troops continue to strike Hamas and other terror groups across the Gaza Strip, destroying dozens of targets over the past day, as part of preparations for a broader offensive to seize Gaza City in the north of the enclave.
According to the military, Golani Brigade forces under the 36th Division killed several gunmen and destroyed terror infrastructure in southern Gaza. The 188th Brigade also operated in the southern city of Khan Younis, working to secure control over the Magen Oz corridor linking the eastern and western parts of the city, and struck Hamas positions in the area.
In northern Gaza, the IDF’s 162nd Division targeted terrorists in addition to both aboveground and underground infrastructure. The Givati Brigade reported destroying several tunnels in Jabalia, while the 401st Brigade spotted and killed three Hamas operatives with air support.
