The IDF announced on Saturday that it, along with the Israel Air Force and navy, had eliminated over 40 terror targets over the last day, including a terrorist who launched rockets toward troops operating in Nirim and a weapons warehouse.
The eliminations took place as the IDF expanded operations through the area of Khan Yunis, dismantling Hamas’s terrorist infrastructural sites throughout the city.
