A Hamas operative who was planning an attack on Israeli troops was killed in an airstrike in the Gaza Strip yesterday, the military says.

The IDF says Ibrahim Abu Sakkar had planned an attack on troops “in the immediate timeframe” and during the war led numerous attacks on soldiers and Israel.

Abu Sakkar also served as a paramedic in Hamas’s Military Medical Services, according to the IDF.

The military publishes footage of the strike.
