Israeli military says it struck over 100 ‘terror targets’ in Gaza

The Israeli Air Force has attacked more than 100 “terror targets” in the Gaza Strip throughout the weekend, the military said on Telegram on Sunday.

Dozens of Hamas terrorists were “eliminated” in the process, in response to attacks by Hamas, it said.

The military also said it had struck several launch pads said to have been used to fire missiles from the Gaza Strip into Israeli territory.

The information could not be independently verified.

In the run-up to the attacks, numerous measures were taken to reduce the risk of harm to civilians, according to the military.

Israel’s military and intelligence services “will continue to operate against the terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip in defense of the citizens of Israel,” it said.

Israel has been waging war on Gaza since the Hamas-led October 7, 2023 attacks on Israel in which some 1,200 people were killed and some 250 abducted to Gaza.

Much of the Gaza Strip has since been rendered uninhabitable amid the fighting and more than 45,700 people have been killed according to Palestinian estimates.

Negotiations to secure a ceasefire and the release of the remaining hostages have been at a stalemate for months.
