The Israel Defense Forces says fighter jets struck a Hamas site on the roof of a building in the Gaza Strip, as well as a tunnel near the building, following intelligence information gathered from the Shin Bet interrogation of a Hamas terrorist.

Ground forces also battled gunmen in the Strip today, killing several of them, seizing weapons and intelligence materials, and locating tunnels, the IDF adds.

The IDF has struck some 120 targets in the Gaza Strip today, including Hamas compounds and anti-tank launch positions.

One of the main challenges the ground forces are facing in Gaza is terror operatives coming out of tunnels and launching RPGs at armored vehicles, though only a handful of cases have resulted in fatalities.
