IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari says the army will continue limited ground raids in the Gaza Strip, after last night infantry forces and tanks operated for a number of hours over the border fence to attack Hamas positions and members.
Hagari says raids will be carried out “tonight as well, and it will continue all the more forcefully in the coming days.”
He says the IDF is still carrying out “massive strikes” on the Gaza Strip, “from the air and sea,” focusing on killing senior Hamas members and those who participated in the October 7 massacres.
