The IDF says it last night struck the rocket launchers used by Hamas in an attack on the Tel Aviv area yesterday.
The barrage of at least 11 projectiles was fired from southern Gaza, in the first attack on Tel Aviv in nearly two months.
The IDF says several mortars were also being stored at the rocket launch site that was hit.
In another nearby strike, the IDF says it hit a site used by Hamas’s anti-tank missile unit.
The strikes come as the 98th Division is continuing its offensive in west Khan Younis in Gaza.
The IDF says the Paratroopers Brigade killed several gunmen and seized weapons, and the 7th Armored Brigade directed several airstrikes on Hamas operatives.
Meanwhile, the 162nd Division is operating in northern and central Gaza.
The division’s 401st Armored Brigade killed “many terrorists” and seized weapons in the Shati camp, and reservists of the 5th Brigade battled several Hamas operatives in another area of northern Gaza, the IDF says.
