Military says it struck dozens of terror targets in Gaza overnight

The Israeli military says it struck dozens of terror targets throughout Gaza overnight, including many rocket-launching positions.

Among those was a long-range launchers used to fire rockets at Jerusalem in the Monday salvo that began the latest conflict, the army says.

Several terror cells were hit on their way to launch rockets, the IDF says, as was a Hamas post with an anti-tank missile launcher.

Other targets hit included a tunnel shaft located at a beachside hotel, “operational apartments” of Hamas naval forces, two homes of Hamas commanders used as command posts in the past and weapons warehouses. Among the equipment stored in the latter were paragliders for use in aerial infiltration attempts.
