During operations in Gaza City, the IDF says troops with the 99th Division have located lathes used to manufacture weapons, along with cash belonging to terror groups.

Several gunmen were also killed amid the fighting in Gaza City, according to the army.

In southern Gaza’s Rafah, the IDF says that troops with the 162nd Division killed numerous more gunmen in clashes and by calling in airstrikes.

Meanwhile, several rockets were fired from northern Gaza’s Beit Hanoun at the Lachish Regional Council area in southern Israel yesterday, setting off sirens in the town of Nir Israel, near Ashkelon.

The IDF says the rockets struck open areas, and in response, airstrikes were carried out against sites belonging to terror groups in the area of the launch.
