Over 180 targets were struck by the Israeli Air Force in the Gaza Strip over the past day, including operatives, booby-trapped buildings, weapon depots, anti-tank launch posts, tunnels, and other infrastructure, the military says in a daily update.

The strikes come as five IDF divisions, made up of tens of thousands of troops, continue to operate across Gaza.

In northern Gaza, the IDF says troops of the 401st Armored Brigade located several weapons and tunnel shafts used by Hamas. The troops also located a cell of Hamas operatives in a building and directed a drone strike against them, according to the IDF.

Similarly, the military says troops of the elite Multi-Domain Unit spotted a cell of Islamic Jihad operatives in a building and called in a drone strike.
