The IDF shelled dozens of terror targets in the Gaza Strip with artillery in the past day, the military says.

In southern Gaza, the IDF says the 282nd Artillery Regiment hit over 30 targets, including buildings and apartments used by Hamas to advance attacks on troops in the area.

In northern Gaza, the 990th Reserve Artillery Regiment killed several terror operatives and hit additional buildings used by terror groups, the army says.

Hamas authorities reported yesterday that over 90 people were killed in Israeli strikes in Gaza over the previous 24 hours.

Also in southern Gaza, the 188th Armored Brigade destroyed a building where the IDF says it located a tunnel entrance and killed operatives who approached the forces.

Tunnels were also demolished during operations of the Givati Brigade in northern Gaza’s Beit Hanoun, the IDF adds.
