During operations of the 98th Division in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis in the past day, the IDF says troops eliminated at least 10 terror operatives who were identified near the forces.

The troops killed the operatives with sniper fire and tank shelling, the military says.

In northern Gaza, the IDF says the 252nd Division directed an airstrike against a cell of five operatives spotted near the forces.

Dozens more targets, including tunnels and operatives, were hit in airstrikes in the past day across Gaza, the military adds.
