Israel's naval forces continue to provide support to ground forces, the IDF said, and have attacked terrorist infrastructure in southern Gaza.

IDF soldiers have killed numerous Hamas terrorists in continued operations throughout the Gaza Strip, including RPG-armed terrorists in close combat in Rafah, the IDF announced on Monday.

Soldiers from Division 162 eliminated armed terrorists in close combat, while fighters from Brigade 8 killed a terrorist who was planting explosives in central Gaza.

Over the past day, the Nahal reconnaissance unit eliminated a group of RPG-armed terrorists, and Air Force fighter jets struck dozens of terrorist targets, as well as terrorists who were identified as observing IDF forces and posing a threat.
