The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) have reported ongoing operations against terrorist infrastructure and individuals in the Gaza Strip. These operations, described as “intelligence-based, targeted operations,” are focused in the Rafah area. Recent activities include targeted raids, weapons discoveries, and the elimination of several terrorists in close-quarters combat. In one operation, a drone was used to identify and strike an armed terrorist, followed by an Israel Air Force (IAF) aircraft targeting the structure housing the terrorist. Additionally, the IAF targeted a rocket launch site in Rafah.
Operations also continue in the central Gaza Strip, resulting in the elimination of more than ten terrorist operatives, including one involved in the October 7th Massacre in southern Israel. Over the past day, the IAF has struck and dismantled over 45 terror targets across the Gaza Strip, including military structures, armed cells, rocket launchers, tunnel shafts, and other infrastructure used by terrorists.
