In western Khan Younis, the Paratroopers Brigade raided the multi-story building that the IDF says was used by Hamas's Khan Younis Brigade commander to manage the fighting against Israel.

In the building, the IDF says the troops located weapons and military equipment.

In a separate raid, the IDF says the soldiers found a cache of RPGs in an apartment.

The IDF says the Paratroopers Brigade also killed several Hamas gunmen in close-quarters combat over the past day, as well as an operative who hurled two grenades and had approached soldiers with a knife.

The Givati Brigade, also operating in Khan Younis, killed a gunman approaching them and directed an airstrike on two more operatives heading toward a building, the IDF says.

Also in Khan Younis, the IDF says a fighter jet struck and killed a Palestinian Islamic Jihad sniper.

Meanwhile, in northern Gaza, the IDF says the 401st Armored Brigade killed seven Hamas gunmen in the last day.

The IDF says the Israeli Air Force carried out several strikes across Gaza over the past day, including Hamas rocket launching positions and other infrastructure.

The Navy also carried out strikes along the Strip's coast, aiding the ground forces operating in the area. The IDF says Navy vessels hit several Hamas and Islamic Jihad sites, including a building where operatives were gathered.
