Using decoy shots, the forces lured the terrorists to escape into a building used as a Hamas command center in the Issa neighborhood, and fighter jets were deployed to strike and eliminate them.
In addition, during the strike, IDF troops identified armed terrorists attempting to launch an attack and were eliminated by precise sniper fire. The operational sweep also revealed additional terrorist infrastructure in the vicinity, including buildings utilized as Hamas military sites. These structures were targeted and destroyed by the IDF forces.
Meanwhile, IDF troops from the 179th Division discovered a weapons cache in the central part of the Gaza Strip, located within a kindergarten in the Bureij neighborhood. Among the findings were toy boxes containing dozens of mortar shells, explosive heads, and RPG anti-tank missiles.
In another operation within Gaza City, IDF forces directed an IAF fighter jet and aircraft to eliminate an identified armed terrorist cell. Additionally, on the outskirts of Al-Shati, IDF troops spotted three terrorists who opened fire on the forces. In response, the troops directed a helicopter gunship an IAF jet to strike and neutralize the three terrorists.
