IDF: Dozens of terrorists were eliminated during close-quarters combat over the past day in the central and southern Gaza Strip
Over the past day in the area of Khan Yunis and the outskirts of Deir El Balah, IDF troops eliminated dozens of terrorists and dismantled dozens of terrorist infrastructure sites. In one of the strikes, the troops identified a terrorist who posed a threat to them and directed the IAF to eliminate him.
Additionally, areas from which projectiles were launched at communities in southern Israel over the past week were struck.
In the area of Tel al-Sultan in Rafah, the troops eliminated numerous terrorists that posed a threat to the troops.
Furthermore, IDF troops operating in the central Gaza Strip eliminated a terrorist who posed a threat and was armed with explosive material in proximity to the troops. Additionally, a launch post from which projectiles were launched toward the troops was struck.
Over the past day, the IAF struck approximately 30 terror targets in the Gaza Strip, including military structures and posts, weapons storage facilities, and launch sites in the area of Khan Yunis

IDF: Earlier today (Friday), with the direction of IDF and ISA intelligence, the IAF conducted a precise strike on a Hamas command and control center embedded inside a compound that previously served as the “Jaafer Ali Bin Abu Taleb” School in the area of Zeitoun. Hamas used the compound to store large quantities of weapons and conduct terrorist activities in the area.
Prior to the strike, numerous steps were taken to mitigate the risk of harming civilians, including the use of precise munitions, aerial surveillance, and additional intelligence.
The Hamas terrorist organization systematically violates international law and operates from within civilian infrastructure in the Gaza Strip, brutally exploiting the Gazan civilian population for its terrorist activities. The IDF will continue to operate against the Hamas terrorist organization in defense of the State of Israel.
IDF: Following Precise, Intelligence-Based Targeted Operations, the IDF Dismantled a One Kilometer Long Underground Terror Tunnel in the Rafah Area
Since the beginning of the war, the IDF has been working to dismantle and neutralize the Hamas terrorist organization’s underground infrastructure in the Gaza Strip.
Troops of the Southern Gaza Brigade and the Combat Engineering Unit of the Gaza Division, in cooperation with the Yahalom Unit, located and dismantled a Hamas underground attack tunnel route in the Rafah area. The tunnel route that was dismantled was approximately one kilometer in length.
While the tunnel route was located and investigated in the past few weeks, the troops located explosives, electrical infrastructure, and blast doors.
During the operations in the area, the troops identified terrorist activity carried out in and around the tunnel route. Last week (August 11th, 2024), observers of the Gaza Division identified a Hamas terrorist cell that emerged out of the tunnel shaft in the Gaza Strip in order to attack our troops. Directed by the Southern Gaza Brigade’s fire control center, an IAF aircraft struck and eliminated the terrorists.
