The IDF dropped leaflets in Arabic over the Jabalya in northern Gaza, warning Hamas leaders, "We are coming" on Monday, according to Palestinian social media.

The leaflets feature text over a picture of waves reading, "Oh Hamas leaders, we are coming. If you come back, we will come back. We will return like a roaring flood until the clear victory."

The IDF said Monday that Israeli forces had destroyed large amounts of underground infrastructure, and several Hamas terrorists were eliminated. In one airstrike in Jabalya, a Hamas building where a group of terrorists had gathered was destroyed.

In the Zaytoun neighborhood, just south of Jabalya, the IDF has been operating in recent days to dismantle Hamas infrastructure in the area.
