The target is an area in central Gaza, east of Gaza City, where extensive Hamas tunnels and military positions are known to be located.
Saturday will mark three weeks since the deadly Hamas attack on Israel, and for the second night in a row, Israeli tanks moved into central Gaza, a long column crossing the border for a targeted raid, and this time the force included combat engineers.
IDF says the operation struck Hamas military command and control centers, anti-tank missile launch sites, and known Hamas terrorists. The force returned back across the border into Israel.
