The Israeli Air Force struck more than 30 targets across the Gaza Strip over the past day, including buildings used by terror groups, cells of gunmen, and other infrastructure, the military says in a morning update.
The strikes come as troops operate in southern Gaza’s Rafah and Khan Younis, and the Netzarim Corridor in the Strip’s center.
In Khan Younis, the IDF says it shelled with artillery an area from which rockets were fired at the Israeli border community of Kissufim yesterday.
Also in Khan Younis, soldiers of the Paratroopers Brigade raided a building where they found a cache of weapons, including RPGs and explosive devices, the military says.
Meanwhile, in central Gaza, the IDF says reservists with the Harel Brigade located several tunnel shafts and killed several gunmen using a drone.
The military says the Israeli Navy also killed “a number of terrorists who posed a threat to IDF troops operating in the central Gaza Strip,” with shelling from its vessels.
