The IDF continued during last night to expand its ground activity in the Gaza Strip in order to eliminate the military capabilities of the Hamas terrorist organization.
In clashes with terrorists in the Gaza Strip, IDF soldiers killed dozens of terrorists who had taken refuge in buildings and attempted to harm the forces. During one of the incidents, an aircraft, under the guidance of the soldiers on the ground, targeted a gathering place of the Hamas terrorist organization, resulting in the elimination of more than 20 terrorists.
During the night, IDF fighters in the Gaza Strip identified armed terrorists and an anti-tank missile position in the area of "Azhar" University in the Gaza Strip and directed a fighter jet that attacked them.
In addition, in the last 24 hours, about 600 targets were attacked, including weapons warehouses, hiding places and gatherings of Hamas operatives, and anti-tank positions.
