The Israeli Defense Forces said Monday morning that its ground attack in Gaza expanded overnight.

"An IAF aircraft—guided by ground forces—struck a Hamas post and the 20+ terrorist operatives in it," the IDF wrote on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

"Soldiers spotted armed terrorists and an anti-tank missile launching post near the Al-Azhar University and guided an IAF fighter jet to strike them," the post continued.

The IDF added that its forces "eliminated multiple terrorists barricaded within civilian buildings and terrorist tunnels who attempted to attack the forces."
