Major Gaza Operation Unfolds
IDF Says: Dozens of Hamas Terror Operatives Killed in 24 Hours of Gaza Strikes
IDF forces report successful strikes against Hamas operatives across Gaza Strip, with multiple divisions coordinating air and ground operations to neutralize terror threats and infrastructure.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced that its troops have killed a significant number of "terror operatives" in Gaza over the past 24 hours. The military stated that these individuals were in the process of planning attacks against IDF forces.
According to a military statement, the 98th Division identified a cell of armed operatives near their positions and immediately called in an airstrike. In a separate incident, forces spotted multiple armed operatives and weapons at a specific location, which was also targeted and destroyed by an airstrike.
In the same area, the 162nd Division reported that its troops killed several more operatives and neutralized Hamas infrastructure, including booby-trapped areas.
The Israeli Navy also participated in the offensive, with its 916th Patrol Squadron eliminating a single operative who was deemed a "threat to ground troops."
In other parts of the Gaza Strip, the 99th Division struck several Hamas-affiliated buildings and neutralized additional operatives. In the south, the Gaza Division located a Hamas surveillance command center, which was then hit by a drone strike, killing the operatives inside.
