Meanwhile, the IDF continues to advance in Jabaliya, Zeitoun, and Rafah, and the military reports that more than 150 terrorist targets were destroyed in the Gaza Strip.
Following the evacuation calls for civilians in Jabaliya to seek shelter in western Gaza City, the IDF initiated an operation overnight, acting on intelligence indicating Hamas' attempts to rebuild its terrorist infrastructure and presence in the area. Before ground forces moved in, Israeli Air Force fighter jets and other aircraft targeted about 30 terror sites, eliminating multiple Hamas terrorists.
Concurrently, based on IDF and Shin Bet intelligence, operations continue in specific zones of eastern Rafah and the Gazan side of the Rafah Crossing. The IDF uncovered and dismantled several tunnel entrances and ready-to-launch rocket platforms aimed at Israel. Moreover, IDF forces intercepted ten armed Hamas terrorists leaving terror facilities, promptly neutralizing them with the help of IAF airstrikes and ground troops.
