IDF says members of Hamas elite Nukhba force killed in central Gaza airstrikes

Several Hamas operatives, including members of the terror group’s elite Nukhba force were killed in airstrikes in the central Gaza Strip in the last few hours, the military says.

The IDF says that simultaneously, strikes were also carried out against Hamas tunnel infrastructure in the Deir al-Balah area.

The strikes come as the 98th Division continues an offensive in central Gaza.

Amid the operation in central Gaza, the IDF says troops of the 7th Armored Brigade and elite Yahalom combat engineering unit raided several buildings used by terror groups and demolished tunnels.

Operations also continue in southern Gaza’s Rafah. In one incident in Rafah, the IDF says a drone strike was carried out against two gunmen who were spotted by troops of the 414th Combat Intelligence Collection Unit heading toward a tunnel shaft.
