IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari says a cell of four Hamas gunmen who attacked an encampment in central Gaza’s Netzarim Corridor on Friday, killing one soldier, were all eliminated.
Three of the gunmen were killed by troops of the Jerusalem Brigade during the clash, while a fourth fled. A short while later, he was killed in an airstrike, Hagari says.
Sgt. Maj. (res.) Yaniv Itzhak Oren was killed in the attack.
