In its latest update, Israel’s military has said it destroyed a Hamas weapons depot in Rafah and killed a member of the Palestinian group’s elite naval commando unit, Al Jazeera reports.

In its operations in the north, the Israeli military said it had “dismantled hundreds of metres” of tunnels and killed more Palestinian fighters using tank fire.

The Israeli Air Force also hit military infrastructure and fighting positions in central Gaza, the military has said, killing several people.

Israel’s latest reported attacks on Gaza come as numerous civilians were killed and injured, according to the Palestinian news agency Wafa, including two women and three children in a strike on the Bureij refugee camp.
