IDF troops have located additional weaponry in an UNRWA facility in Jabalya, the Israeli military announced Monday afternoon.
Additionally, an Israel Air Force aircraft struck and eliminated the terrorist Zaher Huli (also known as "Abu Hamed"), who held roles in Hamas's military wing and the Hamas Police in central Gaza, the IDF and the Shin Bet announced.
Zaher reportedly used his position to build connections with other Hamas terrorists and promote terror attacks on Israel.
During an additional operation on Sunday, the terrorist Rami Khalil Faki, who held roles in Hamas' military wing and Hamas Police in the area of Nuseirat, was also targeted in an aerial strike.
Rami Khalil Faki commanded armed terrorists who carried out attacks against IDF troops. His deputy and four additional Hamas terrorist operatives were eliminated together with him.
Islamic Jihad commander eliminated
A Palestinian Islamic Jihad tactical-level commander was also eliminated in an aerial strike in the eastern Rafah area with three other terrorists from the organization who engaged in close combat with IDF soldiers, the IDF later announced.
In Rafah, the Maglan Unit drone team located tunnel shafts and terrorists in the area. During an operation, a terrorist exiting an underground tunnel shaft was targeted and killed by an IAF aircraft, the military added.
Soldiers of the Egoz Unit located weapons and cameras in Rafah that had been sewn into pillows.
Soldiers of the Commando Brigade, including the Maglan Unit, Egoz, and the Nahal Reconnaissance Unit, under the command of the 162nd Division, are continuing operations in eastern Rafah.
Additionally, the IDF reported that an Israel Air Force aircraft also eliminated operatives who had fired anti-tank missiles at IDF soldiers in Jabalya. There were no reports of wounded IDF soldiers.
In another instance, terrorists armed with RPG launchers were killed in an aerial strike.
The IAF stuck approximately 80 terror targets over the past day throughout the Gaza Strip, including weapons storage facilities, rocket launchers, terrorist cells, military structures, and other terrorist infrastructure.
