Israeli military also says 10 more of its soldiers killed in Gaza Strip fighting
The Israeli military on Wednesday reported targeting 11,000 locations in the Gaza Strip, including structures housing members of the Hamas organization. Additionally, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) successfully intercepted a surface-to-air missile from Lebanon targeting one of their drones.
The IDF found Hamas terrorists sheltering in a multi-story building in the Jabalia area of the northern Gaza Strip during recent clashes. The building is located near a school, a medical center, and government offices. The Air Force has entered the field to arrest the terrorists.
According to the Israel Air Force, since the beginning of the conflict, the IDF has conducted over 11,000 airstrikes targeting various facilities associated with terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip.
Furthermore, the IDF reported that they spotted a vehicle transporting anti-tank missiles heading toward their operations in the Gaza Strip. In response, ground forces coordinated an airstrike on the vehicle, confirming a successful hit.
