Israeli troops continued operations against Hamas in Gaza's Shejaya area, targeting terrorists, weapons, and combat compounds. The Air Force struck Hamas infrastructure, including tunnel shafts. Dozens of terrorists were killed in close-quarters combat and airstrikes. Troops surrounded a civilian area Hamas used as a compound, finding weapons and a rocket launcher near schools. In Rafah, Israeli forces dismantled a mortar post in a tunnel shaft. The situation remains tense with ongoing military actions amid international concerns over casualties and hostages.
