The IDF says it struck and killed a terror operative who launched mortars at southern Israel yesterday.
The operative was spotted leaving the launch site in the southern Gaza Strip, before an airstrike was called in against him.
The IDF says several buildings and infrastructure used by Hamas in the area of the incident were also struck by aircraft.
Troops are meanwhile still clearing through the Hamad Town residential complex in Khan Younis.
The IDF says the Egoz commando unit found a cache of firearms, explosives, and military equipment in a building in the Hamad area.
The Givati Brigade called in an airstrike against a four-man cell in Hamad who were attempting to plant a bomb near a building where troops were operating, the IDF says.
Meanwhile in central Gaza, the IDF says the Nahal Brigade discovered and destroyed several rockets launchers used in recent attacks on Israel.
In another incident, two rockets were fired at Nahal troops inside Gaza, causing no injuries. The IDF says the soldiers called in an airstrike against the operatives behind the attack.
