A series of Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon were struck by Israeli fighter jets overnight, the IDF says.

According to the military, the targets included a Hezbollah site in the Jabal Toura mountain region, a weapons depot in Qabrikha, a building used by the terror group in Tallouseh, and other infrastructure in Houla and Ayta ash-Shab.

Separately, earlier this morning, the IDF says a suspected drone was shot down by air defenses over southern Lebanon.

A suspected drone heading toward Israel from the direction of the Red Sea was shot down by a fighter jet early this morning, the IDF says.

Residents of the southernmost city of Eilat reported hearing a blast amid the incident.

More than 30 gunmen were killed by IDF troops in southern Gaza's Rafah over the past day, the military says.

Also in Rafah, the IDF says troops with the 162nd Division located tunnel shafts and weapons.

Meanwhile, in Gaza City's Shejaiya neighborhood, troops with the 98th Division killed dozens of Hamas operatives -- involved in anti-tank attacks and rocket fire on Israel -- including by calling in airstrikes, the IDF says.

The IDF says the 98th Division also destroyed sites belonging to terror groups in Shejaiya.

Meanwhile, airstrikes were carried out against two primed rocket launchers in southern Gaza's Khan Younis, the IDF says.

Separately, Israeli fighter jets and drones carried out a wave of strikes across Gaza overnight, including against what the IDF says was Hamas infrastructure used to plan and carry out attacks against troops in the Strip.

One drone strike targeted a Hamas sniper who had targeted troops in Gaza previously, the military adds.

Palestinian media report that Israeli ground forces advanced into Gaza City's Tel al-Hawa neighborhood overnight, following a large wave of airstrikes.

The IDF at around 1 a.m. said it was carrying out airstrikes in the central Gaza Strip. Tel al-Hawa is located in the south of Gaza City, close to the Netzarim Corridor where the IDF maintains a presence.

Yesterday, the IDF called on Palestinians to evacuate the Tuffah, Daraj, and Old City neighborhoods of Gaza City.

The IDF is also still operating in the Shejaiya neighborhood of Gaza City.

The IDF confirms launching a new operation in Gaza City's Tel al-Hawa neighborhood overnight, following intelligence of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad infrastructure and terror operatives in the area.

In a statement, the military says it is also operating at UNRWA's headquarters in the area, where the IDF previously found significant Hamas tunnel infrastructure, and killed and captured numerous gunmen.

The IDF says it has intelligence of new Hamas and Islamic Jihad activity and infrastructure in Gaza City, including weapon caches and detention and interrogation rooms used by the terror groups.

At the start of the operation, the IDF says it warned civilians, adding that it would open up a humanitarian corridor for Palestinians to leave the area.

"The IDF will continue to act in accordance with international law and against the Hamas and PIJ terror organizations, who systematically operate and carry out terrorist activity from inside civilian infrastructure, including UNRWA compounds, which are used by them to plan and carry out terror activity against the State of Israel," the military adds.

A member of Hezbollah's rocket unit was killed in a drone strike overnight in southern Lebanon's Qlaileh, in the Tyre District, the IDF says.

According to the IDF, Mustafa Salman was involved in planning and carrying out several attacks against Israel as part of his role in the terror group's rocket and missile array.

It publishes footage of the strike.

Earlier today, Hezbollah announced Salman's death, bringing the terror group's toll amid the war to at least 362.

The Israeli military is calling on Palestinians in several neighborhoods of Gaza City to evacuate the area and head toward the designated "humanitarian zone."

Col. Avichay Adraee, the IDF's Arabic-language spokesman, publishes a list of the zones that need to be evacuated alongside the announcement.

The zones include the Sabra, Rimal, Tel al-Hawa, and Daraj neighborhoods of Gaza City.

The announcement comes as the IDF launched a fresh raid in the southern and western neighborhoods of Gaza City this morning, and as it presses on with an operation in the eastern Shejaiya neighborhood.

The humanitarian zone is located in the al-Mawasi area on the southern Strip's coast, western neighborhoods of Khan Younis, and central Gaza's Deir al-Balah.

The results of an IDF probe into the onslaught and battle on October 7 in the border community of Kibbutz Be'eri, during which tanks shelled a house where Hamas was holding hostages, was presented to Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi earlier today.

The presentation of the probe to Halevi lasted several hours, due to the investigation being highly detailed, according to a military source. The fighting at Be'eri, one of the largest Gaza-border communities, included numerous incidents and many different Israeli units were involved.

The probe, carried out by Maj. Gen. (res.) Mickey Edelstein, a former commander of the Gaza Division, covers all aspects of the fighting in the kibbutz that day, including the incident at Pessi Cohen's house.

As the IDF fought to regain control of the Gaza border communities, Brig. Gen. Barak Hiram, the commander of the IDF's 99th Division, ordered a tank to fire on Cohen's home, where terrorists were holding 14 hostages.

The tank fired two shells toward the house. Of the 14 who had been held hostage, 13 were killed in the intense firefight between Israeli troops and the Hamas terrorists. It remains unclear how many of the 13 had been harmed by the tank fire.

The probe is expected to provide a large amount of details into the incident at Pessi Cohen's house.

Before the war, Hiram was tapped to be the next commander of the Gaza Division, a move that appears to currently be on hold, subject to the results of the Be'eri investigation.

By Thursday, the probe will be reviewed and finalized by Halevi, and then presented to members of the Kibbutz and families of troops who were killed in Be'eri on October 7.

The IDF will conduct a presentation at one of the hotels at the Dead Sea, where displaced members of Be'eri have been staying since October 7. The army will also send individual representatives to the families of soldiers and local security officers killed in the Kibbutz.

The military will also launch a website where the findings will be presented to the public, and it will be updated over time with additional investigations into the battles on October 7.

The IDF hopes to present all the battle investigations by the end of August.

A paramedic with the IDF's elite Multi-Domain, or Ghost, Unit was seriously wounded by a mortar impact in the northern Gaza Strip earlier today, the military says.

The soldier was taken to a hospital in Israel for treatment.

Maj. Gen. Avi Blot takes over the IDF Central Command in a handover ceremony at the unit's headquarters in Jerusalem, becoming the new general in charge of the West Bank region.

Blot is replacing Maj. Gen. Yehuda Fox, who is retiring from the IDF, ending a 36-year military career.

The ceremony is attended by IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi.

Blot previously commanded the Central Command's West Bank division and is an observant Jew, making him a favorable choice for the role in the eyes of some.

Speaking at the ceremony, Fox says "today's excitement is surrounded by feelings of failure and shame, that we did not fulfill our life's mission," referring to the October 7 onslaught.

"As a former commander of the Gaza Division, I carry with me deep sorrow and pain. These feelings will accompany me all my life," he says.

Fox says that the Central Command has so far managed to quell the West Bank, keeping it from "becoming a main front and from diverting the IDF from the challenges of the war."

"There are Iranian efforts... to carry out terror against the State of Israel. We must constantly prepare for the next threat, stay ahead of the enemy, and never underestimate it," he says.

Fox says that while "the vast majority" of Israeli settlers in the West Bank are "moral, law-abiding citizens," in recent months "nationalist crime reared its head under the auspices of war," and enabled rioting and intimidation of Palestinians.

"Unfortunately, the local [settler] leadership is deterred and does not find the strength to openly oppose it. Those who remain silent in the face of the crimes thereby introduce criticism towards [all settlers]. This is not Judaism in my eyes. This is not the way of the Torah. It is adopting the ways of the enemy," he says.

On the Palestinian Authority, Fox says "the Central Command's ability to fulfill its tasks also depends on the existence of a functioning and strong Palestinian Authority, with effective security mechanisms that maintain law and order."

"Proactively undermining the security reality in this front endangers the security of the State of Israel," he says.

A barrage of some 10 rockets was fired from Lebanon at the Galilee Panhandle a short while ago, setting off sirens in several communities.

According to the IDF, some of the rockets were shot down by air defenses, and there are no injuries.

Buildings used by Hezbollah in southern Lebanon's Maroun al-Ras were struck by Israeli fighter jets a short while ago, the military says.

Additional Hezbollah infrastructure was struck in Ayta ash-Shab and Houla, the IDF adds.

Meanwhile, a barrage of nine rockets was fired from Lebanon at the Upper Galilee a short while ago. The IDF says all the projectiles struck open areas and no injuries were caused.

Sirens had sounded in the communities of Gadot and Yesud Hama'ala amid the attack.

Earlier this evening, 10 rockets were fired at the Kiryat Shmona area, and a further five were launched at the Upper Galilee. Some of the rockets were downed by air defenses, and no injuries were caused, according to the IDF.

A group of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad operatives gathered at a school in central Gaza's Nuseirat were struck by Israeli fighter jets earlier this evening, the IDF says.

According to the military, the operatives were carrying out "terror activity" from within the school and "using it as a shield for terror."

The IDF says it used precision munitions in the strike to mitigate harm to civilians.

Syrian state media reported an alleged Israeli airstrike targeting a site near the coastal city of Baniyas overnight. The SANA news agency says damage was caused in the attack.

A suspected drone heading toward Israel from the eastern direction was shot down by a fighter jet overnight, the IDF says.

The target did not enter Israeli airspace.

The IDF has described past attacks from Iraq as "from the east."

The announcement comes shortly after the Iran-backed Islamic Resistance in Iraq claimed to have launched drones at Israel's southernmost city of Eilat overnight.
