More than 100 targets were struck by Israeli Air Force fighter jets, drones and helicopters across the Gaza Strip over the past day, the military says, as fighting continues in Rafah, Zeitoun and Jabaliya.

The IDF says troops of the 401st Armored Brigade and Givati Infantry Brigade, under the 162nd Division, killed several cells of gunmen in close-quarters combat in eastern Rafah, as well as located weapons.

In Jabaliya, the military says the 98th Division expanded its operations in the area, raiding Hamas sites in the city in northern Gaza. Over the past day, troops of the Paratroopers, 460th and 7th brigades killed dozens of gunmen in Jabaliya, according to the IDF.

Meanwhile, in Gaza City’s Zeitoun, troops operating under the 99th Division located tunnel shafts and destroyed several rocket launchers and a weapons depot. Several gunmen were also killed by the troops, the military says.

Sites hit by the IAF included a command room in central Gaza where at least five operatives were gathered, booby-trapped buildings, and other infrastructure, along with gunmen near troops, the IDF adds.
