Alongside the new operation in Khan Younis, the IDF says troops continue to battle Hamas further south in Rafah, as well as the Netzarim Corridor area in the central Gaza Strip.
Over the past day, troops with the 162nd Division killed dozens of gunmen by calling in airstrikes, tank shelling, using sniper fire, and in close-quarters combat in Rafah, according to the IDF.
An officer with the Nahal Brigade was seriously wounded yesterday in Rafah, by anti-tank missile fire.
In the central Gaza corridor, reservists with the 252nd Division killed “many” more gunmen and demolished sites used by terror groups, the IDF adds.
Across the Strip, the IDF says it struck more than 60 targets in the past day, including buildings used by terror groups and caches of weapons.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
