The ******** military released a brief statement saying: “A short while ago, IDF fighter jets struck two ****** military infrastructure sites in the area of Gaza City.”

It said more details would be released soon.

was triggered when ******-led militants stormed into southern ******* on Oct. 7, ******** around 1,200 people and seizing more than 250 hostages, according to ******** tallies.

The offensive has left Gaza in ruins, ******* more than 37,400 people, of whom 101 were ******* in the past 24 hours, according to ************ health authorities, and left nearly the entire population homeless and destitute.

More than eight months into the war, *******’s advance is now focused on the two last areas its forces had yet to seize: Rafah on Gaza’s southern edge and the area surrounding Deir al-Balah in the center.

Residents said ******** tanks deepened their incursion into western and northern Rafah areas in recent days. On Saturday ******** forces bombed several areas from air and the ground, forcing many families living in areas described as humanitarian-designated zones to leave northwards.

The ******** military said forces continued “precise, intelligence-based” targeted operations in Rafah, ******** many ************ gunmen and dismantling military infrastructure.

On Friday, the Gaza health ministry said at least 25 Palestinians were ******* in Mawasi in western Rafah and 50 wounded. Palestinians said a tank shell hit a tent housing displaced families.

The ******** military said that the incident was under review. “An initial inquiry conducted suggests that there is no indication that a strike was carried out by the IDF (******* Defence Forces) in the Humanitarian Area in Al-Mawasi,” it said.
