The Israeli Air Force struck over 120 terror targets in Gaza over the past day, the military says, as five divisions continue ground operations across the Strip.

The IDF says the targets included cells of operatives, buildings used by terror groups, caches of weapons, tunnels, and other infrastructure.

Dozens of casualties were reported by media outlets in Gaza in the past day, but there are no immediate tolls from the Hamas-run health ministry or other health officials.

In northern Gaza’s Jabalia, the military says troops of the 401st Armored Brigade came under RPG fire, and within minutes directed a drone strike on the cell that fired on the tank. No soldiers were injured, according to the IDF.

In the Beit Hanoun area, reservists of the 646th Reserve Paratroopers Brigade destroyed a rocket-launching site used to fire projectiles on southern Israel earlier this week, and killed operatives who were planting bombs in the area, the IDF adds.
