The Air Force has struck around 5,000 Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip to neutralize threats in real-time, the IDF said Saturday afternoon.
About 3,300 attacks were carried out by fighter jets, approximately 860 raids were conducted by combat helicopters, and over 570 were performed by unmanned aerial vehicles.
These attacks assist ground forces in neutralizing threats and closing firing circles in a short time, with the fastest time measured at about 6 minutes from detection to attack, the IDF said.
