IDF hits over 100 Hamas targets as battles rage in Gaza; rocket hits Sderot building
[IsraelTimes] Military destroys rocket launchers in Hamas

stronghold of Khan Younis, pursues terror squad attempting to attack tank in central Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...

The Israel Defense Forces said Friday it carried out strikes on more than 100 Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip over the past day, hitting a range of facilities used by the terror group, as intense battles continued in the central and southern areas of the enclave. The strikes in Gaza, carried out by air, sea and ground forces, hit Hamas command centers, launch positions, weapons depots and other infrastructure, according to the IDF.

Meanwhile,
...back at the Council of Boskone, Helmuth ordered the space pirate fleet to attack Zemblonia...
rocket sirens blared north of the Gaza border on Friday. One rocket hit a building in the southern city of Sderot, a spokeswoman for the city said. A second rocket fell outside of the city. No injuries were reported, although the building was damaged in the direct impact.

Rocket fire has drastically declined as the army has tightened its control over the Strip, but the military has warned that the terror group still has capabilities to launch projectiles into Israel.

The operations came as Defense Minister Yoav Gallant presented his vision for a four-pronged plan for how to handle the Gaza Strip after the ongoing war with the terror group ends, with the IDF retaining full military control but no civilian presence, and local Paleostinian authorities playing a central role in civil affairs. It was the first time a senior Israeli official had presented a scenario for the day after the war and was meant to be discussed in a cabinet session Thursday night, which instead descended into a loud and angry dustup when right-wing ministers cried foul over IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi’s plans for the army to probe its own mistakes during the October 7 massacre.

In central Gaza’s al-Bureij, the military said troops of the Border Defense Corps’ 414th Combat Intelligence Collection Unit spotted a group of Hamas operatives attempting to attack an IDF tank. Troops launched a pursuit after the button men used a drone, and the army called in a fighter jet Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
after the operatives were spotted fleeing into a building, the IDF said, publishing footage of the strike.

In southern Gaza’s Khan Younis, reservists of the Kiryati Brigade found several rocket launch sites used to fire projectiles at Israel. The IDF said the troops destroyed the launchers and killed "many" Hamas operatives during several battles in the area.

The IDF also stated it completed an operation in a central Gaza neighborhood, where troops located tunnel shafts, booby-trapped homes and weapons. Troops of the 646th Reserve Paratroopers Brigade and elite Yahalom combat engineering unit were operating in the neighborhood over the past week, in an area dubbed by the IDF "the towers neighborhood" after its high-rise buildings.

"The buildings of the neighborhood were used as anti-tank missile and machine gun fire positions," the IDF said.

It said troops battled and killed many Hamas button men, and located several primed rocket launchers, booby-trapped buildings, tunnel shafts and bombs during operations in the neighborhood. The IDF said troops also found a warehouse and chemical lab used to manufacture weapons. Combat engineers destroyed the Hamas infrastructure, including tunnels in the area.

#1 Others have remarked on this, but it is very odd how Gaza is running out of everything but rockets. They seem to have a great abundance of those

#2 i think radar and math can tell the rockets launch point, if so rubble it.

#3 irish rage boy, they probably use a "shoot and scoot" strategy. Hitting the launch site may not do any good, since the launchers are gone by the time the air strike arrives. Plus they probably use a "civilian" site to launch.
