IDF forces, mostly from the Givati Regiment and armored corps, operated in Gaza overnight, penetrating to a depth of over one kilometer near the Sufa Crossing. They carried out arrests of Gazans suspected of involvement in terror activity. After completing the mission the soldiers returned to Israel.

Military sources told Arutz 7 / Israel National News that 40 Palestinian Authority Arabs were arrested in the operation, and were taken to Israel for interrogation. 36 of these were released after interrogation and four remain in custody.
