Dozens of warplanes attacked at least 150 targets throughout the massive Shujay’a neighborhood in Gaza City, IDF Spokesperson Daniel Hagari said Sunday night.
Around a hundred tons of ammunition were dropped in the attack.
“The Shujay’a neighborhood is also used as a terrorist nest for Hamas and is where many activities against Israel were launched, also as part of the fighting in recent days,” Hagari said.

In addition, fighters of the 13th Israeli Navy Fleet captured the deputy commander of the southern brigade of the Hamas naval force in Gaza, Muhammad Abu A’ali.
“The suspect is being held and is currently being interrogated by the security system,” the IDF said.
