IDF troops continued operations in Rafah and Tel al-Sultan overnight on Friday, the IDF reported on Saturday morning.

Ground troops, in cooperation with the IAF, struck and eliminated several terrorist cells identified in the area, the military added.

Several terrorists were reportedly identified exiting from a terror tunnel shaft embedded within a structure. The air force subsequently struck the structure and the tunnel shaft from which the terrorists had operated.

Fighter jets also destroyed a military structure in Rafah from which terrorists had fired anti-tank missiles toward IDF troops, the military added.

No injuries were reported among IDF personnel from the anti-tank fire.
