IDF says it struck around 35 targets across Gaza over the past day

The Israeli Air Force struck some 35 targets in the Gaza Strip over the past day, the military says.

The targets included buildings used by terror groups, weapon depots, rocket launching sites, sniper positions and other infrastructure, as well as cells of terror operatives.

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

In Rafah, the IDF says troops of the Givati Brigade killed a cell of gunmen in a “close-range encounter.”

Amid several raids in Rafah, Givati troops also located intelligence documents and equipment, which were brought back to Israel for investigation, the army says.

Separately, a Hamas sniper identified by troops in the Rafah area was killed in a drone strike, the military adds.

In the Netzarim Corridor, the IDF says another drone strike was carried out against a cell of operatives.
