During the night, Israel conducted a second limited incursion into the Gaza Strip. This move involved sending in tanks and troops, with the Israel Defense Forces leading the operation. The focus was on striking Hamas operatives and their facilities.

This operation centered around the Shuja’iyya neighborhood in eastern Gaza City. It was a coordinated effort, combining infantry, combat engineering, and armored forces. Additionally, Israeli Air Force drones and combat helicopters provided air cover.

The IDF executed artillery fire and airstrikes on various sites associated with the Hamas terror group. This included targeting anti-tank missile launch sites and command centers. As a result of the operation, several Hamas members were successfully neutralized by the Israeli forces.

After several hours, all Israeli forces withdrew from the area, and no casualties were reported. This marks the second consecutive night of IDF forces briefly entering the Gaza Strip. These actions are seen as part of the preparation for a potential broader ground offensive in the near future.
