Overnight, Israeli fighter jets struck two Hamas rocket launching sites in the southern Gaza Strip, which were positioned adjacent to civilian shelters, the military says.
The IDF says the rocket launchers were primed for an attack on Israel, and were hit before they could be used by Hamas. It adds that the strike was carried out “after taking precautions to mitigate harm to civilians.”
Over the past day, some 50 more sites belonging to Hamas and other terror groups were struck by the Air Force across the Gaza Strip, the military says.
The sites included tunnel infrastructure in central Gaza, according to the IDF.
Also in central Gaza, the Nahal Brigade continues to operate in the Netzarim corridor. Over the past day, the IDF says Nahal troops killed several gunmen and destroyed infrastructure belonging to terror groups in the area.
