More than 45 targets were struck by the Israeli Air Force across the Gaza Strip over the past day, the IDF says, as ground forces continue operations in Rafah, Khan Younis, Deir al-Balah, and the Netzarim Corridor.
Amid operations by the 98th Division in the Khan Younis area, the military says a drone struck and killed a Hamas terrorist who fired rockets on Sunday at the border community of Ein Hashlosha.
Also on Sunday, Hamas fired rockets from a civilian environment in the southern Gaza Strip. According to the army, the rocket launchers were positioned adjacent to two schools, a cemetery, and a field hospital.
Meanwhile, in Rafah, the IDF says troops with the 162nd Division killed dozens of gunmen during fighting in the Tel Sultan neighborhood. The troops also located weapons and destroyed sites belonging to terror groups, the military says.
In the Netzarim Corridor in central Gaza, reservists with the 252nd Division directed airstrikes on two Hamas operatives and a command room in the area, the IDF adds.
