Soldiers also located and destroyed several ready-to-use launchers and dozens of rockets in the Jabalya, the military added.
Weapons, grenades, explosives, and ammunition were also located by Israeli forces in the area.
Approximately 100 targets were attacked from the air, with 500 artillery shells being fired by Israeli forces, Ynet reported.
