“Soldiers killed dozens of terrorists who had barricaded themselves in buildings and tunnels and tried to attack the soldiers,” the army said in a statement.
The jet struck a house where “more than 20 Hamas terrorists” were, the army said.
The group “Hamas” previously reported that its fighters had fierce battles with Israeli troops in the northern Gaza Strip.
After several weeks of intense airstrikes, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced a new phase in the “long and complex” war.
About 1,400 people, mostly civilians, were killed in Hamas’ October 7 invasion of Israel, and 239 hostages were taken to the Gaza Strip, according to the latest Israeli estimates.
On the other hand, the Hamas-controlled Ministry of Health of the Gaza Strip reports that more than 8,000 people, mostly peaceful residents, have been killed in the Israeli counter-attacks in the Gaza Strip.
Among the victims are many children, according to the ministry.
