The IDF says troops have killed some 150 gunmen during the ongoing raid against Hamas at Gaza City’s Shifa Hospital, now in its fourth day.

In central Gaza, the IDF says it struck a tunnel shaft and a building used by Hamas that were identified after a rocket was launched from the Strip at the southern community of Be’eri yesterday. The rocket was intercepted by the Iron Dome.

Fighting also continues in central Gaza, where Nahal Brigade troops killed several Hamas operatives over the past day, according to the IDF.

In the Khan Younis suburb of al-Qarara, the IDF says troops of the 7th Armored Brigade battled Hamas gunmen and struck the terror group’s sites, including two booby-trapped buildings; and the Givati Brigade killed a five-man Hamas cell.

Over the past day, the IDF says some 40 airstrikes were carried out across Gaza, mostly to aid the maneuvering of ground troops.
