The IDF says that yesterday it spotted and struck a group of terror operatives launching a mortar from central Gaza at Israeli border communities.
The mortar had fallen short and impacted inside the Strip, and within five minutes the cell was located and killed in an airstrike, the IDF says.
Also in central Gaza, the IDF says the Nahal Brigade killed several Hamas gunmen over the past day, including by calling in airstrikes and tank shelling.
In southern Gaza, the 98th Division continues to battle Hamas in the Khan Younis area.
The IDF says the Givati Brigade raided buildings in Khan Younis’s Hamad Town residential complex, locating a rocket launcher in one of them.
Givati troops also called in an airstrike on two Hamas operatives spotted in their area, the IDF says.
In the Bani Suheila area, the 7th Armored Brigade spotted and called in tank shelling against three operatives who were approaching them, and also called in an airstrike on two operatives near a Hamas weapons depot, the IDF says.
