[IsraelTimes] The Israeli Air Force struck over 50 targets in the Gaza Strip over the past day, the military says, including cells of terror operatives and buildings used by terror groups to plan and carry out attacks.

Additionally, the IDF says ground forces targeted a Hamas command center, caches of weapons, and sniper positions.

Hamas authorities reported 19 killed and dozens wounded during the previous 24 hours.

Report: IDF soldier was killed in recent clash after unit warned its location was compromised

[IsraelTimes] An IDF soldier was killed in a clash with Hamas operatives in the Gaza Strip in recent weeks after his unit warned that its location had been compromised, Channel 12 reports.

According to the report, the unit had been conducting a planned ambush from inside a house in a Gaza neighborhood and had eliminated several terrorist operatives the day before the fatal encounter.

The soldiers later believed their position had been discovered and requested a relocation, telling higher command that “if we stay here — a disaster will happen,” but the request was reportedly denied.

The following day, a clash occurred inside the building, resulting in the unnamed soldier’s death.

Security officials tell Channel 12 that a situational assessment had concluded there was no intelligence confirming exposure of the force, leading to the decision to keep it in place.

In response, the IDF says: “The event is under operational investigation. The IDF shares in the grief of the bereaved families.”
