The military also pushed ahead with expanding its ground offensive into Khan Younis in the south of the Strip, where it believes Hamas leadership is hiding.
Israel has vowed to topple Hamas after the October 7 massacres, in which Palestinian terrorists stormed across the border from Gaza and slaughtered some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and took around 240 hostages.
Palestinian terrorists continued to fire rockets at Israeli communities on Tuesday morning, with sirens sounding in the largely evacuated Israeli communities near the Gaza border, as well as the southern city of Beersheba, some 40 kilometers away. No injuries or damage were reported in the attacks.
Throughout Monday and early Tuesday, IDF troops were operating in Jabaliya to destroy Hamas assets. Soldiers located rockets and other weapons, and directed airstrikes at Hamas operatives.
