Israeli military: More than 130 targets hit in Gaza Strip in two days
Israel’s military said on Thursday it has struck more than 130 targets in the embattled Gaza Strip over the past two days.
According to a statement, “terror targets belonging to terrorist organizations” were hit.
The targets included several rocket launchers and terrorist cells, as well as facilities and locations from which attacks on Israeli soldiers were carried out, the military said.
In the southern part of the coastal strip, Israeli forces said several terrorists were killed, and multiple facilities belonging to the Islamist group Hamas, as well as weapons depots, were destroyed.
In the north, a building used by terrorists was also targeted.
The Israel Defense Forces said in a separate statement that Jasser Hussein Ali Shamieh, seen by Israel as a Hamas terrorist responsible for raising funds for its military wing, was killed in a strike in Gaza City.
These claims could not initially be independently verified. According to Palestinian sources, dozens of people have been killed in the latest Israeli attacks.
