In recent hours, IDF forces have begun ground operations on the coastal axis in the Beit Lahia area in the northern Gaza Strip. Prior to the operation, the IDF and Shin Bet attacked Hamas terror infrastructure and anti-tank missile launch sites in the Beit Lahia area.

At the same time, the IDF and Shin Bet continued to attack dozens of terrorist targets of terrorist organizations throughout the Gaza Strip during the night. As part of the attacks, fighter jets and aircraft attacked dozens of terrorists from terrorist organizations, military structures, weapons, and additional terrorist infrastructure that posed a threat to IDF forces and the State of Israel.

Our forces are attacking throughout the Gaza Strip even at this time and will continue to operate against the terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip and remove any threat to the citizens of the State of Israel.
