The military says troops have killed several gunmen and located tunnel shafts during operations in eastern Rafah over the past day.

The tunnels discovered in the area are being prepared to be demolished by combat engineers, the IDF says.

In one incident in eastern Rafah, the IDF says troops of the Givati Brigade spotted an RPG-wielding operative and killed him.

In the area of the Rafah Crossing with Egypt, the military says the 401st Armored Brigade is carrying out raids on the Gazan side, following “indications and intelligence information that terrorists are taking advantage of the crossing area for terror purposes.”

The Air Force, meanwhile, struck more than 100 targets across the Strip over the past day, including buildings used by terror groups, observation posts and rocket launchers, the IDF adds.
