The army added that “6,000 weapons”, including anti-tank missiles, rockets and ammunition, had been located in Gaza.
“In recent days, combined Israeli forces have continued to strike numerous terror targets in the Gaza Strip, including operational command centres, terror and rocket infrastructure, weapons and logistics depots, launch posts, terror tunnels, [and] numerous Hamas terrorists,” it said.
Earlier, the Gaza government’s media office said about 29,000 tonnes of explosives had been dropped on Gaza since the start of the war.
It called the destruction “unprecedented”, adding that more than 50 percent of Gaza’s housing units had been damaged in the bombardment.
