Israeli ground, sea, air forces eliminate 40 terror targets in Gaza Strip

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.
