Israeli Naval Forces targeted and eliminated several vessels used by the Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorist organizations in southern Gaza. 

Additionally, in the area of Zaytun, IDF ground troops directed fighter jets and aircraft to strike over 10 targets, from which attacks were carried out and directed against IDF troops. The forces eliminated terrorist infrastructure and eliminated approximately 20 terrorists over the past day. 

During one of the operations, the troops identified a terrorist carrying an RPG who was operating adjacent to them. The troops engaged the terrorist and eliminated him in close combat before him being able to harm them. 

During searches carried out by IDF troops in central Gaza, the troops located and destroyed a booby-trapped launch position in the area from which launches toward Israeli territory were most likely being planned. 

IDF troops also eliminated over 15 terrorists in western Khan Yunis. During targeted operations, the troops located AK-47s, grenades, military equipment, and additional explosive devices intended to harm the troops. Additionally, IDF directed an aircraft to strike a military site in which a terrorist cell was identified. 

As part of a sniper ambush carried out by IDF troops in the area, troops successfully eliminated an armed terrorist cell. Furthermore, IDF troops located several weapons, documents, and Hamas military equipment in western Khan Yunis.
