As the IDF continues a pinpoint operation against Hamas in the central Gaza Strip, the military says combat engineers built bridges for tanks to cross the Wadi Gaza river.

Two bridges were used by troops of the 401st Armored Brigade to carry out an offensive against several sites belonging to terror groups south of the stream.

The IDF says its 162nd Division continues to kill gunmen in the area, on the outskirts of Nuseirat camp.

The troops also uncovered and destroyed several rocket launchers, which were primed for attacks on Israel, the military says.
