IDF troops resumed a ground war in southern Gaza on Saturday night with operations being carried out in the Al Janina area in Rafah.
The IDF said the operations were carried out to expand the security zone in southern Gaza.
“As part of the activity, the troops dismantled Hamas terrorist infrastructure,” the IDF said.
At the same time, Israeli forces continued airstrikes against Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror targets throughout the Gaza Strip.
Among the terror targets struck over the weekend were weapons storage facilities, rocket launchers, military structures from which terrorists were operating, and additional terrorist infrastructure sites.
During the strikes, dozens of terrorists were eliminated, including terrorists who had launched mortars towards Israeli territory.
