Four Hamas gunmen who “posed an immediate threat to troops” were killed in Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip yesterday, the military says.

In one incident in the Strip’s south, the IDF says, three armed Hamas operatives were struck after being identified near troops. In another incident, a Hamas operative planning a sniper attack was struck and killed, according to the IDF.

“The four terrorists posed an immediate threat to the troops and were eliminated in a targeted manner to remove the threat,” the military says.
