Over the past day, the Israeli Air Force carried out airstrikes on over 50 targets in the Gaza Strip, the military says, including against groups of operatives from the Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror groups.
One of the strikes, launched overnight, targeted a prominent terror operative who was operating out of a former school in Gaza City, the IDF says.
The military does not provide his identity or further details on his role.
The school building was serving as shelter for displaced Gazans, and Palestinian media report at least five dead in the strike.
Additional strikes overnight hit Hamas operatives in Khan Younis and Deir al-Balah, in southern and central Gaza respectively, the IDF says.
Other targets hit in the past day included cells of operatives, weapon depots, tunnel infrastructure, anti-tank launch positions, and buildings used by Hamas, the military says.
