The Israel Defense Forces expanded “Operation Gideon’s Chariots” in Gaza on Monday, targeting Hamas infrastructure and terrorists in Khan Yunis and Deir al-Balah.

Kfir Brigade troops, operating under the 36th Division, located and dismantled a weapons storage facility in Khan Yunis containing over 100 rocket components and other military equipment, according to the IDF.

Dozens of terrorists were killed during the operation, and additional terrorist infrastructure and military sites were destroyed.

Earlier in Deir al-Balah, the IDF and Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) carried out a precision strike on a Hamas command and control center used to coordinate attacks against Israeli civilians and soldiers, according to the military.

Multiple terrorists were killed in the strike. The IDF said precautions were taken to minimize harm to civilians.

Throughout the day, the IDF and Israeli Air Force struck dozens of targets across Gaza, including terrorist cells, tunnels, weapons depots and military compounds.

Ground operations continue across the Strip as part of the broader campaign.

Israel has stated that the goal of “Operation Gideon’s Chariots” is to dismantle Hamas’s military capabilities, take control of key areas and secure the release of hostages.
