The IDF is continuing its ongoing operation against Hamas at Gaza City’s Shifa Hospital, where the military says troops killed more than 50 gunmen over the past day.

Since the beginning of the operation at Shifa, some 140 terror operatives have been killed by troops, according to the IDF.

Also amid the raid at Shifa, carried out by the Navy’s Shayetet 13 commando unit and the 401st Armored Brigade, the IDF says troops located infrastructure belonging to terror groups and caches of weapons.

Meanwhile, in central Gaza, the IDF says the Nahal Brigade killed some 20 more Hamas operatives over the past day.

In southern Gaza’s Khan Younis, the IDF says the 7th Armored Brigade launched an offensive against Hamas in the al-Qarara area.

The IDF says the troops have killed numerous gunmen and struck dozens of sites belonging to Hamas in the area, including a rocket launcher.

The raid in al-Qarara began with a wave of airstrikes, targeting Hamas sites and operatives, the IDF adds.
