The IDF says it carried out strikes on more than 100 Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip over the past day.
The strikes, carried out by air, sea, and ground forces, hit Hamas command centers, launch positions, weapons depots, and other infrastructure, according to the IDF.
In central Gaza’s al-Bureij, the military says troops of the Border Defense Corps’ 414th Combat Intelligence Collection Unit spotted a group of Hamas operatives attempting to attack an IDF tank.
Troops launched a pursuit after the gunmen used a drone, and the army called in a fighter jet airstrike after the gunmen were spotted fleeing into a building, the IDF says, publishing footage of the strike.
In southern Gaza’s Khan Younis, reservists of the Kiryati Brigade found several rocket launch sites used to fire projectiles at Israel.
The IDF says the troops destroyed the launchers and killed “many” Hamas operatives during several battles in the area.
