Israeli forces fought Hamas terrorists in southern Gaza as the conflict continued to escalate Saturday.
Hamas compounds and anti-tank launch positions were among 120 Gaza Strip targets hit during the course of the day, the Times of Israel reported.
In what the Israel Defense Forces called a “targeted raid” in southern Gaza – one of the first skirmishes in that part of the enclave – members of a Hamas cell emerged from a tunnel to attack tanks and combat engineers of the Gaza Division, who had arrived to map buildings and clear planted explosives.
The IDF shelled the fighters and killed an unknown number of them, the military said.
