IDF Forces in Gaza (IDF)
Israel is continuing with its attack on terrorist positions throughout Gaza as five IDF reservists were killed during one operation carried out on Monday.
Over the past day, the Israel Air Force struck several launch posts inside of the Gaza Strip used by terrorists to fire rockets at Israeli civilians across the country. IDF troops in Jabaliya (northern Gaza) identified a post that launched rockets toward the city of Sderot (just north of Gaza). In response, the forces directed an aircraft that struck the launch post as it was firing.
IDF troops also conducted a targeted raid on a Hamas compound and located approximately 250 weapons and military equipment. And IDF troops struck a weapon production factory where they located hundreds of ammunitions.

Furthermore, Israeli naval forces identified a terrorist cell that was firing at the ground troops in the Gaza Strip and struck it.
In yet another example of Hamas and Islamic Jihad hiding within civilian buildings, the IDF’s 5th Mechanized Infantry Brigade’s 8111 Battalion on Monday initiated a targeted raid on terror infrastructure sites in the area of the school from which terrorists fired on Israeli forces.
During the battle, an explosive device was detonated at the forces and terrorists were identified in the area. The troops responded with live fire, directed aircraft and tanks, initiated contact, killed the terrorists, and struck the terror infrastructure in the area.
IDF soldiers in reserve duty (MAJ) Eviatar Cohen, (MAJ) Roman Bronshtein, (CPT) Eliya Yanovsky, (SGM) Etay Perry, and (MSG) Ari Yehiel Zenilman fell during the battle.
IDF soldiers also uncovered a room used for RPG training of terrorists inside a mosque in Jabalya. Nahal Brigade soldiers also found many weapons- including rifles, grenades, cartridges, etc. – some of them inside UNRWA bags.
In parallel, soldiers of the IDF’s reserved 4th armored brigade conducted a targeted raid on an Islamic Jihad command center where they located numerous weapons, mortar shells, explosive devices, technological equipment such as detonation systems, intelligence-gathering documents, and a tunnel shaft leading to underground infrastructure that was struck.
Since the beginning of the 4th Brigade’s operations in the southern Gaza Strip, the soldiers struck terror targets and killed numerous terrorists.
