The Israeli military confirms it has launched a new pinpoint raid in Gaza City’s Zeitoun neighborhood overnight, which it says is aimed at “the continued dismantling of terror infrastructure and eliminating terrorists in the area.”

Ahead of the raid carried out by the 99th Division, the Israeli Air Force struck some 25 sites in the area, including buildings used by terror groups, attack tunnels, observation posts, sniper positions, and other infrastructure, the IDF says.

The military says troops of the Nahal Brigade, Yiftah Brigade, and Carmeli Brigade then entered the neighborhood and are working to clear it of Hamas infrastructure.

The IDF first operated in Zeitoun at the start of Israel’s ground offensive in Gaza last year. It launched another two-week-long raid in the Gaza City neighborhood in late February.

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant vows that Israel “will achieve our goals in the north and south,” in a message to both the country’s “enemies and best friends.”

The comments come after US President Joe Biden threatened that some arms shipments would be frozen if Israel launches a planned offensive in southern Gaza’s Rafah.

Several rockets were fired from Lebanon at different areas in northern Israel today, sparking a fire in one strike in the border community of Shlomi, the IDF says.

Firefighters are at the scene working to extinguish the blaze.

Meanwhile, two drones that were heading toward Israel from Lebanon were downed by Israeli fighter jets over Lebanese airspace, the military says.

The IDF says fighter jets also struck a building used by Hezbollah in southern Lebanon’s Ayta ash-Shab.
