Troops of the Multidomain Unit, also known as the Ghost Unit, seized some NIS 5 million in cash in suitcases found in the home of a senior Hamas member in northern Gaza’s Jabaliya, the IDF says.

The IDF says it also carried out strikes against more than 150 sites in the Gaza Strip over the past day.

In the Khan Younis area, an IAF drone spotted a Hamas cell entering a site belonging to the terror group. Troops of the Givati Brigade then directed a combat helicopter to strike the cell, the IDF says.

Also in Khan Younis, the IDF says troops of the Kiryati Brigade spotted a Hamas sniper in a building, and directed a drone strike, killing the operative.

The Navy also carried out strikes in Gaza, aiding ground forces operating along the Strip’s coast, the IDF says.
