IDF eliminates dozens of Hamas terrorists in day of intense operations
The IDF has eliminated dozens of Hamas terrorists in Gaza, with extensive strikes and close-quarters combat aimed at dismantling threats to Israeli security.
The IDF eliminated dozens of Hamas terrorists and destroyed terrorist infrastructure across central and southern Gaza, the IDF said on Friday.
IDF troops engaged in close-quarters combat, targeting and neutralizing several terrorists who posed immediate threats, the military added.
In one incident, troops identified a Hamas terrorist who posed a threat to troops. The soldiers subsequently coordinated with the IAF for a targeted strike.
The IDF also struck areas from which missiles had been launched toward southern Israeli communities over the past week, the military added.
Intense fighting
In the central Gaza Strip, a Hamas terrorist armed with explosives was reportedly neutralized near IDF personnel, and a launch post used for attacking IDF positions was destroyed.
Throughout the day, the IAF carried out approximately 30 strikes against terror targets in the Gaza Strip. These included military structures, weapons storage facilities, and launch sites, particularly in Khan Yunis, the military noted.
