The Israel Defense Forces says ground forces operating in the Gaza Strip have found infrastructure inside a mosque.

Troops of the Harel Reserve Brigade’s reconnaissance unit and Givati Brigade’s reserve reconnaissance unit found a Hamas tunnel shaft inside the mosque, the IDF says.

The IDF says that overnight, soldiers directed fighter jets and combat helicopters to strike anti-tank missile squads that were firing at troops.

The IAF has struck some 200 targets over the past day, the military says, including terror operatives, weapon production sites, anti-tank missile launch positions, and Hamas command centers.

The Navy has also carried out strikes, hitting a Hamas naval forces camp on the coast, which the IDF says was used for training and as a weapons depot.
