Several missiles were fired from Lebanon toward the northern communities of Dovev and Bar'am.

The IDF says it is shelling the source of the fire with artillery.
The IDF says it is advancing in southern Gaza’s Khuza'a, on the outskirts of Khan Younis, with troops of the 5th Reserve Brigade killing numerous Hamas operatives and destroying the terror group’s infrastructure.

Earlier this week the IDF announced it had launched an offensive on Khuza'a, in an operation targeting the Hamas terrorists who attacked the Israeli border community of Nir Oz on October 7.

The IDF says it is working to establish “operational control” over the area, and have so far killed Hamas gunmen and struck “significant” assets belonging to the terror group, including tunnel networks and anti-tank missile launch positions.
It says the fighting in Khuza'a is “intensive.”

Dozens of tunnel shafts have been found by the troops, along with numerous weapons, including assault rifles, explosives, and mortars, the IDF says.

The IDF adds that combat engineers with the 5th Brigade have demolished Hamas infrastructure in the homes of Hamas terrorists who participated in the attack on Nir Oz, where dozens of Israelis were killed and kidnapped on October 7.

The IDF says fighter jets carried out strikes against Hezbollah sites in the Hamoul area of southern Lebanon in response to attacks on the border today.

It says the targets included rocket launching positions, a military site, and other infrastructure used by the terror group.

The IDF says it also struck an anti-tank missile squad in the southern Lebanon village of Aitaroun, and a launcher used to fire missiles at Israel from the village of Yaroun earlier today.

Several rockets were fired at northern Israel in the last hour, three of which crossed the border. The IDF says it is striking the launch sites.

Earlier drone infiltration alarms that sounded in the north were false alarms, the IDF adds.
The IDF says five soldiers were wounded in the car-ramming attack earlier today in the southern West Bank, including one in serious condition.

The IDF says it has located and demolished a hideout apartment belonging to Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar in northern Gaza, along with a large tunnel system under it.

The apartment, located on the outskirts of Gaza City, was found by the 14th Reserve Armored Brigade and later investigated by the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit, which found a tunnel shaft.

The IDF says it found “many findings” in the apartment that indicated it was used by Sinwar as a hideout.

The tunnel shaft was some 20 meters deep, and led to a 218 meter long tunnel with several branches, according to the IDF.

The underground passages featured electricity, air filtration systems, plumbing, resting and prayer rooms, and other equipment aimed at allowing senior Hamas members to remain hidden for long periods.

The tunnel was later destroyed by combat engineers, the IDF says.

The IDF says troops of the 7th Armored Brigade have advanced further in southern Gaza, while raiding Hamas sites in Khan Younis, including the headquarters of the terror group’s intelligence division in the city.

The intelligence headquarters was responsible for all of Hamas’s intelligence activity in the Khan Younis area, the IDF says, adding that it also located a command center belonging to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad in the same complex.

According to the IDF, the troops recovered “very valuable” intelligence materials from the sites.

Meanwhile, troops of the Givati Brigade raided several more Hamas sites in southern Gaza, killing operatives in the process with sniper fire and tank shelling, the IDF says.

It says that the Givati troops also directed several airstrikes on Hamas gunmen in the area, along with other infrastructure belonging to the terror group.

Before the troops maneuvered deeper into Khan Younis, the IDF says the 98th Division and Air Force carried out some 50 strikes on targets in the area, including tunnels and other infrastructure used by Hamas to attack troops.
