The IDF says the Nahal Brigade killed some 15 gunmen in the central Gaza Strip over the past day, with sniper fire, close-quarters combat, and by calling in airstrikes.
Also over the past day, the Commando Brigade continued its raid on the Hamad Town residential complex in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis.
The IDF says the commandos raided apartments used by Hamas, captured operatives, and seized weapons.
Troops of the Givati Brigade came under anti-tank missile fire amid operations in Hamad. The IDF says the soldiers spotted and tracked the operative behind the attack, and he was killed by Maglan commandos.
In the Khan Younis suburb of al-Qarara, the Bislamach Brigade killed several Hamas operatives with sniper fire and by calling in airstrikes and tank shelling, the IDF says.
Meanwhile in northern Gaza, the IDF says, the Navy directed an attack helicopter to strike a vessel used by a Gaza-based terror group.
