The Israel Defense Forces say that troops found and destroyed rocket launchers at several sites across the Gaza Strip as battles continue.
Troops that raided a military compound in Khan Younis in southern Gaza found six rocket launchers, some of them primed to fire, and destroyed them. In the same compound, they found explosive devices and an underground tunnel shaft.
During the raid they identified two armed operatives who threatened them and called in an air strike that killed the gunmen.
Rocket launchers that had been used to fire into Israel were also found and destroyed in northern Gaza, the army says.
Forces in the north also called in airstrikes on cells trying to plant explosives and an anti-tank team, killing them, the army says.
