The IDF attacked another Hamas internal security headquarters used for counterintelligence in Khan Yunis. IDF aircraft attacked the home of Iyad Tayeb, commander of the central camps battalion of the Hamas terror organization. His home served as terror infrastructure. Strategically important buildings of the Hamas terrorist organization were attacked, and a squad of the Hamas naval force was killed.     

Ben Gurion Airport was closed for landings, and planes were diverted to Ramon Airport. Some airlines announced that they would cancel flights to Israel.  

On its part, Hamas launched rockets into areas of southern and central Israel during the entire day, including the early-morning hours.

A terrorist armed with a handgun and knife arrived at Etzba Gavia Junction adjacent to the Sela outpost of the IDF's Samaria Brigade, got out of his car and opened fire on IDF troops engaged in operational activity in the area. The troops returned fire and neutralized the terrorist. Two of the soldiers were taken to a hospital for treatment.
