IDF expands ground operations in Gaza
It was announced earlier in the week that the IDF had expanded its ground operations in Gaza overnight on Friday, in the North and the South, and took control of several areas in Beit Hanun, Beit Lahiya, Rafah, and the Morag Axis.
In the early hours of Saturday morning, the Israeli Air Force and artillery batteries operated to target terrorist objectives and support the operating troops.
On Friday evening, both ground troops and the IAF struck in Rafah, Khan Yunis, Shejaia, Gaza City, and Beit Hanun.
That same day, the military killed numerous terrorists and dismantled Hamas infrastructure, including a command and control center that was used for planning and executing terror attacks, the IDF announced.
The IAF also conducted a series of extensive air strikes east of Gaza City on Thursday night.
In an operation supported by the 401st Brigade’s Fire Control Center, the IAF killed a terrorist who served as a deputy company commander in Hamas’s Nukhba force.
