The IDF, as part of Operation “Gideon’s Chariots,” conducted strikes on over 200 targets over the past 48 hours, the military confirmed on Monday.
The Israel Air Force attacked targets including terrorists, weapons depots, sniper posts, anti-tank posts, tunnel shafts, and other terror infrastructure, the army said.
In the southern Gaza Strip, the IDF attacked a military structure used by Hamas terrorists, which contained a weapons depot, an observation post, and an operational facility, the military claimed.
Additionally, the army identified a number of terrorists operating inside structures, posing a threat to IDF soldiers, adding that the IAF conducted a strike on these terrorists.
In the northern Gaza Strip, the IAF struck and dismantled a structure from which a Nukhba terrorist was operating, it said.
The IDF and Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) on Sunday night conducted joint strikes on “key terrorists” who were operating within a Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad command and control center that had previously served as the “Faami Aljerjawi” School in Gaza City, the military confirmed on Monday.
The IDF also confirmed that soldiers from the Givati Brigade began operating in the northern Gaza Strip over the past week as part of the 162nd Division.
During this, they eliminated dozens of terrorists and dismantled terror infrastructure, including “several booby-trapped structures and underground tunnel routes used by terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip,” it said.
Rockets launched from Gaza on Monday morning
Three rockets were launched from the southern Gaza Strip towards the Gaza border communities on Monday morning, the IDF confirmed.
Two of the rockets fell short inside the enclave, and one was intercepted before crossing into Israel.
