IDF forces located and destroyed several loaded rocket launchers in Jabaliya that were aimed at the kibbutzim surrounding Gaza, according to the IDF spokesman, who added that the troops also located Hamas uniforms, military equipment, AK-47 rifles, and weapon components. In close-quarters combat, terrorists who had barricaded themselves in a building from which they conducted gunfire and terror activities against the troops in the area were eliminated. After eliminating the terrorists, the building, which served as their military headquarters, was dismantled.
