During fighting in southern Gaza's Khan Younis, forces of the 98th Division spotted a long-range rocket launcher, and directed a fighter jet to strike it, the IDF says.

The Paratroopers Brigade and the 646th Reserve Paratroopers Brigade both directed airstrikes on other Hamas operatives in Khan Younis, the IDF says.

Meanwhile, the 162nd Division is continuing operations against Hamas in northern and central Gaza.

The IDF says the division's forces — the 401st Armored Brigade in northern Gaza and Nahal Infantry Brigade in central Gaza — have killed dozens of Hamas operatives over the past day and raided the terror group's sites.
