Over the past day, IAF fighter jets and additional aircraft struck dozens of terror targets, including terrorist infrastructure, launch sites, armed terrorists, and observation posts. In addition, throughout the past day, Israeli Navy troops struck terror targets and provided fire support, assisting IDF ground troops in the central Gaza Strip.

IDF troops identified several terrorists adjacent to IDF ground troops. Swift coordination between forces meant IAF aircraft quickly struck and eliminated the terrorists.

IDF troops identified a terrorist cell operating in a structure in the central Gaza Strip. IDF aircraft and artillery struck the structure and eliminated the terrorists.

Attached is the full transcript of the statement:

Over the last few weeks, the amount of humanitarian aid going into Gaza has significantly increased. In the coming days, the amount of aid going into Gaza will continue to scale-up even more. Food; water; medical supplies; shelter equipment and other aid: more of it is going into Gaza than ever before.

This increase in aid is a result of increased effort, among them: opening the Israeli port of Ashdod; and a new crossing that was opened into Northern Gaza; and increasing the amount of aid coming from Jordan — through Israel — entering Gaza through the Kerem Shalom Humanitarian Aid Crossing. We also facilitated the opening of dozens of bakeries in the north and south of Gaza, together with the World Food Program.

Together with the United States Central Command we are working on a temporary maritime pier, known as JLOTS — which stands for “Joint Logistics Over-the Shore”. This temporary pier will provide a ship-to-shore distribution system that will further increase the flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza.

As part of the efforts to get more aid into Gaza, we are also expanding the designated humanitarian zones in Gaza, where the aid will be reaching and streamlining the distribution efforts, together with international aid organizations, for increased efficiency.

Getting aid to the people of Gaza is a top priority —because our war is against Hamas, not against the people of Gaza. We seek to help alleviate the suffering of the civilians in Gaza that has resulted from the war that Hamas started on October 7th, when it massacred and kidnapped Israelis.

The Israel Defense Forces operates according to international law. We make vast efforts to minimize harm to the civilians that Hamas is hiding behind — because we see the suffering of civilians as a tragedy, while Hamas sees the suffering of civilians as a strategy. That’s why Hamas intentionally hides among civilians; that’s why Hamas wages war from within civilians; and that’s why Hamas has been stealing aid meant for civilians in Gaza.

We will continue to pursue Hamas everywhere in Gaza. We will continue doing everything in our power to bring back home our hostages. We will continue to fulfill our mission: free our hostages from Hamas and free Gaza from Hamas.

 

HAMAS’ REPORTS

Hamas spokesman, Jihad Taha:

- We deny what Al-Arabiya channel reported from AWP sources, that the second phase of the truce deal may witness the departure of some Hamas leaders from Gaza to Cairo.

- There is no basis in truth for this news, and it is false and fabricated news intended to confuse.

- Hamas leaders will remain in their land with their people in the Gaza Strip, and the only one who will leave is the Nazi occupation.

** Al-Qassam Brigades destroyed the enemy’s command headquarters in the “Netzarim” axis, south of Gaza City, with heavy-caliber mortar shells.

** Two occupation soldiers were killed and 8 others were injured in a resistance operation near the “Netzarim” liberation, south of Gaza City.

** Al-Qassam Mujahideen lured a mechanized Zionist force and placed it in a mine ambush using explosive devices and “F16” rockets that were fired at civilians but did not explode on Al-Sikka Street in the Al-Mughraqa area in the central Gaza Strip.

** Al-Quds Brigades: In conjunction with the Martyr Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades, we bombed this afternoon a gathering of Zionist enemy soldiers in the “Netzarim” axis of advance, south of Gaza City, with a concentrated missile barrage.
