A group of Hamas operatives in Gaza City who were planning to carry out a drone attack on troops were targeted in an airstrike a short while ago, the military says.
The IDF says the operatives were struck by an Israeli Air Force helicopter, following intelligence provided by the Military Intelligence Directorate, Shin Bet security agency, and the IDF’s 990th Reserve Artillery Regiment.
Palestinian media report three dead in the strike.
“The terrorists used a civilian area to plan and carry out a terror attack with explosive-laden drones against IDF troops,” the military says, describing the attack as imminent.
The IDF says it took steps to mitigate civilian harm in the strike.
