The IDF and Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) continued operations targeting terrorist infrastructure across the Gaza Strip, including inside Shifa Hospital, after armed forces uncovered more weapons within the hospital, the IDF said on Sunday.

During an IDF operation in Rimal, in the northern Gaza Strip, terrorists launched RPGs and fired at troops with sniper rifles. Subsequently, compounds where RPGs were launched and snipers were stationed were targeted and struck by Israel Air Force (IAF) aircraft.

Over 15 terrorists were killed on Saturday, the IDF added, including a terrorist cell identified while exiting a tunnel shaft and approaching an IDF convoy. The terrorists were killed via airstrike.

In a separate incident, a terrorist cell approaching IDF troops was killed via sniper fire.

Terrorist infrastructure targeted

Approximately 80 targets used for terror were struck by Israeli forces across the Gaza Strip, including Hamas military compounds and additional terrorist infrastructure, the military reported.

Terrorists were also located within the compounds and were killed in IDF strikes.
