Israeli Air Force fighter jets struck 250 terror targets in the Gaza Strip over the past 24 hours, including two rocket launchers used in Tuesday's barrage on the Tel Aviv area.

In Deir al-Balah in the central Strip, the IAF eliminated Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists and destroyed terror infrastructure. Six were killed and many injured in an IAF strike on Wednesday morning in the Nuseirat Camp, some 3 miles northeast of Deir al-Balah, according to Palestinian reports.

Israeli forces were also attacking the Jabalia refugee camp, Beit Lahia, Tel al-Za'tar and the outskirts of Beit Hanoun in the north of the Strip early Wednesday, according to Palestinian reports.

Ground forces also continued to locate weapons, tunnel shafts, explosives, and terror infrastructure. Israel Defense Forces soldiers struck an armed terrorist cell operating adjacent to a school in the northern Gaza Strip, and destroyed a tunnel shaft in the area.

According to Arab reports, IDF armored bulldozers were operating in eastern Khan Yunis. The bulldozers are directed to tear up roads to uncover IEDs and level buildings to expose Hamas terror tunnel shafts so as to provide clearance for ground troops.

A red alert siren sounded in Kibbutz Re'im near the Gaza border on Wednesday, close to where Hamas terrorists slaughtered hundreds of Israeli civilians at the Nova music festival on Oct. 7.

A man around 60 years of age was lightly wounded by rocket shrapnel during one of several attacks, according to the Magen David Adom emergency medical service.
