Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) troops are continuing operational activities across Gaza, including dismantling terror sites, locating weapons, eliminating Hamas terrorists, and striking sniper posts and booby-trapped structures in Gaza City and Northern and Southern Gaza, according to an IDF operational update on X. Over the past day, the Israeli Air Force (IAF) struck over 100 terror targets, including underground sites, weapons storage, and terrorist cells, the IDF stated. In Gaza City specifically, troops dismantled numerous terror sites and eliminated terrorists. In Northern Gaza, forces struck sites above and below ground and eliminated terrorists. In Southern Gaza, IDF troops dismantled terror infrastructure in Khan Yunis and Rafah and eliminated terrorists.
