The IDF says it has launched a new ground operation in Gaza City, with the 98th Paratroopers Division joining the 162nd Armored Corps Division in the northern part of the Strip.
Troops are operating in the city’s eastern areas, targeting underground infrastructure and eliminating terrorist operatives. The Commando Brigade and 7th Armored Brigade are leading the ground maneuver, following a wave of Israeli Air Force strikes.
The military says around 100 terror targets have been struck so far, including weapons depots, command centers and observation posts. Operations are ongoing.
