Israeli fighter jets and drones struck more than 50 sites belonging to terror groups in the Gaza Strip over the past day, the military says.

The strikes come as troops continue to operate in Gaza City’s Shejaiya, in southern Gaza’s Rafah, and in the Netzarim Corridor in the Strip’s center.

In Shejaiya, the IDF says troops with the 98th Division killed dozens of gunmen in close-quarters combat, tank shelling, and by calling in airstrikes.

Several tunnels were also demolished in Shejaiya, according to the military.

In Rafah, the IDF says troops under the 162nd Division killed several gunmen using a drone. And in central Gaza, the 99th Division called in airstrikes against terror operatives and infrastructure, the military adds.
