The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) carried out major strikes on Gaza City high-rises and eliminated a group of terrorists in Beit Hanoun during separate operations in the northern area of Gaza Strip on Sunday. According to the IDF, Hamas had placed surveillance equipment in two of the Gaza City towers to track Israeli troop movements, while the third building contained observation posts.
The army said it provided repeated warnings, used precise weapons and carried out aerial surveillance to minimise harm to civilians. The targeted strikes come as Israel estimates that more than 300,000 Palestinians have evacuated Gaza City, Hamas’s last stronghold, but an estimated 700,000 Palestinians still remain. Separately, the IDF said it killed 11 terrorists in Beit Hanoun after launching a campaign against the remnants of Hamas battalions entrenched in the city.
