The military says targets hit by the IAF included terror operatives, buildings used by terror groups, weapon depots, and other infrastructure.

In Gaza City, the 98th Division directed drone strikes on some 20 targets, including a terror operative planning to carry out a bombing attack, other gunmen, and a weapons depot, the IDF says.
