Troops of the 460th Armored Brigade operating in northern Gaza’s Jabaliya raided a weapons depot in a school, where they found dozens of rocket and missile parts and other weapons, the military says.

“This is further proof of the Hamas terror organization’s cynical use of civilian infrastructure for terror purposes, while using the civilian population as a human shield,” the IDF says.

Meanwhile, in southern Gaza’s Rafah, troops killed several gunmen and located tunnel shafts and weapons; and in the central Gaza Strip corridor, several more operatives were killed, according to the military.

Over the past day, the Air Force struck more than 50 targets in the Gaza Strip. According to the IDF, the targets included buildings used by terror groups, weapon depots, rocket launchers, observation posts, and other infrastructure, along with armed cells.
