Israeli forces are expected to locate underground tunnels built by Hamas as the IDF operates in the northern Gaza Strip.

The IDF eliminated a Hamas terrorist cell on Saturday that carried out a barrage of rocket fire on Israel's center the day before.

Reservists from the IDF's 16th Jerusalem Brigade identified the terrorists who carried out the shooting from the roof of a building and directed an IAF aircraft to eliminate them.
