More than 40 targets in the Gaza Strip were struck by fighter jets and drones over the past day, as part of support for ground forces, the IDF says.

According to the military, the targets included sniper positions, observation posts, buildings used by terror groups, booby-trapped buildings, and other infrastructure.

The strikes come as troops continue to operate in southern Gaza’s Rafah, where the IDF says it located several tunnels and killed gunmen over the past day.

Troops are also operating in the Netzarim Corridor in central Gaza, carrying out raids against Hamas infrastructure, the IDF adds.
