Over the past day in the Gaza Strip, the 162nd Division continued fighting in Jabaliya in northern Gaza, says the Israel Defense Forces.
Across the Strip, IDF forces attacked around 40 Hamas targets, and killed dozens of enemy fighters. They also located explosives and other weapons, including the launcher that fired rockets at Ashkelon over Yom Kippur.
The Gaza Division is operating in the southern Gaza Strip. They killed “a number of terrorists” over Yom Kippur, says the IDF, including a Hamas squad armed with an RPG-type rocket.
