The Israeli army says it has killed “dozens of terrorists” in the Gaza Strip. The military announced Saturday morning that there had been numerous attempts the day before to attack Israeli forces from tunnel shafts and military facilities in the northern Gaza Strip.
The soldiers killed terrorists, found Hamas weapons and exposed tunnel shafts used for terrorist purposes. Israeli tanks destroyed three Hamas observation posts in the northern Gaza Strip and killed several of them in clashes with 15 terrorists, the report said.

During the night, the Israeli army also carried out a targeted attack in the southern Gaza Strip to clear buildings and defuse explosives. During the operation, the troops encountered a terrorist cell emerging from a tunnel shaft. The troops fired at the terrorists and killed them, the report said.
The US expects a new phase
According to a media report, the US government expects a new phase in the Israeli campaign against Hamas Islamists in the Gaza Strip in the coming days. US broadcaster CNN reported on Saturday evening, citing a senior government official in Washington, that a reduction in airstrikes and a greater “tactical focus on the ground campaign” were expected.
An IDF spokesperson released images from the Gaza Strip:
According to the quoted official, the aim is to clear the vast network of underground tunnel complexes from which Hamas operates. As humanitarian aid continues to flow into the Gaza Strip, the US government expects “a reduction from what we have seen to date” in massive Israeli airstrikes, the report said.
Since the large-scale terrorist attacks in early October by the ruling Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Israel says it has attacked more than 12,000 targets in the Gaza Strip. Meanwhile, ground troops are also advancing against Hamas terrorists and military targets.
Controversial bombing of Jabalia
Following massive airstrikes in the Jabalia refugee district, which Israel claims masterminded the October 7 massacre, Israeli infantry claimed to have found Hamas operational plans, maps and communications equipment, as well as personal data of Hamas commanders. and terrorists, according to military information Friday.
This information would be evaluated by Israeli intelligence and made available to the military for future battles, the report said.
50 terrorists were killed in the operation in Jabalia. According to Palestinian accounts, many civilians were among the victims. The Israeli army says it still cannot say how many civilians have been killed. The information from both sides can hardly be independently verified.
