Israeli aircraft struck more than 120 Hamas targets throughout the Gaza Strip over the past day, the Israel Defence Forces said on Tuesday. The IDF said ground forces were battling Hamas in eastern Rafah, including on the Palestinian side of the Rafah border crossing with Egypt.
Troops raided Hamas sites in the area, killing gunmen and locating rocket launchers and other weapons. Soldiers also seized weapons found in a school. Meanwhile, ground forces are also operating in the Jabaliya area of northern Gaza where Hamas is attempting to regroup. Several Hamas gunmen were killed in battles, and the Air Force struck targets including underground facilities and a building where operatives had gathered.
