The Israeli army "eliminated dozens of terrorists, exposed underground terror tunnels and vast amounts of weapons," the IDF spokesman informed. "Prior to our operations we urge civilians to temporarily move towards humanitarian areas and move away from the crossfire that Hamas puts them in," Hagari continued.
