Israeli warplanes launched dozens of air strikes across the Gaza Strip over the past 24 hours, with the army claiming all were “terrorist” targets, including military structure, sniper posts, and gunmen, Al Jazeera reports.

The army said in a statement soldiers with its paratrooper brigade killed four Palestinian fighters, and located and destroyed planted explosive devices.

Israeli aircraft killed the head of a Hamas weapons production workshop in the Sabra neighbourhood in western Gaza, it said.
