The Israeli Air Force on Sunday afternoon struck a motorcycle in Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip, killing a terrorist and seriously wounding another.

The IDF said Okal was planning a terrorist attack against an Israeli target on the Israel-Egypt border, in conjunction with jihadist activists from the Gaza Strip and Sinai Peninsula. His companion, Ismail, reportedly took part in the terrorist attack in June on the Israel-Egypt border in which an Israeli citizen was killed.
