IDF: IDF operations against terrorist infrastructure and terrorists continue in the Gaza Strip

IDF troops continue operational activity in the area of Gaza City. Overnight, the troops conducted a counterterrorism operation against Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists who were operating inside UNRWA's Headquarters in the area and using it as a base to conduct attacks on IDF troops in the central Gaza Strip.

After a defined corridor was opened to facilitate the evacuation of civilians from the area, IDF troops conducted a targeted raid on the structure, eliminated terrorists in close-quarters combat, and located large amounts of weapons in the area.

Over the past day, IDF troops eliminated dozens of terrorists in the area of Shejaiya and dismantled underground tunnel routes. The troops identified ten terrorists observing the troops from a structure in the area, and in a combined aerial and ground strike, the structure in which the terrorists were operating was struck.
