The IDF says some 15 terror operatives holed up in a Hamas site in central Gaza’s Nuseirat were killed in an airstrike yesterday.

The airstrike was directed by the 215th Artillery Regiment, following intelligence information about the operatives. The IDF says the regiment directed a separate airstrike, killing a Hamas sniper squad commander and another operative.

Also in central Gaza, the IDF says the Nahal Brigade killed some 10 gunmen over the past day.

Meanwhile, in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis, the IDF says fighter jets struck and destroyed a Hamas weapons depot spotted by the 7th Armored Brigade.

Also in Khan Younis, the Givati Brigade directed strikes on two Hamas operatives spotted entering and exiting a site known to be used by the terror group, the IDF says.
