JAKARTA - Israeli forces fought against Hamas militants in several areas of Gaza today. Palestinian health officials said 13 people were killed in Israeli bombings in the southern and central regions of Gaza.

In Rafah, the southern border city where Israeli troops have been operating since May, five Palestinians were killed in an airstrike on the house, while near Khan Younis, a man, wife, and two children were killed, the ministry said.

In central Gaza, Nuseirat, one of eight historic refugee camps in the region, four Palestinians were killed in separate shootings and airstrikes, medics said.

Israeli tanks bombed the southern sector of Gaza City on Tuesday morning, residents said.

The Israeli military said its forces continued intelligence-based activities in Rafah, killing many Palestinian gunmen over the past 24 hours.

Airstrikes target other Hamas military militants, tunnels and infrastructure.

The Israeli air force reportedly attacked about 40 targets across the enclave, including sniper and observation posts, military buildings, and buildings equipped with explosives.

The armed wing of Hamas and Islamic Jihad said in separate statements their fighters attacked Israeli troops at several locations with anti-tank rockets and mortar fire.

Israel has pledged to eradicate Hamas after its militants carried out the worst attacks in Israeli history on October 7, killing 120 people and holding more than 250 people hostage, based on Israeli calculations.
