Two Hamas operatives attempting to launch mortars at troops in central Gaza’s Deir al-Balah have been struck by an aircraft, the IDF says, releasing footage of the strike.
It says that an aircraft identified the operatives in an area from which rockets were fired at Israel this week, and struck them as they prepared to fire mortars at troops.
Meanwhile, in southern Gaza’s Rafah, the IDF says a fighter jet struck a rocket launcher used to fire a rocket toward Israel this morning, January 17.
