The IDF publishes footage showing an airstrike on a cell of operatives in the central Gaza Strip, after they were spotted at a site known to be used by a terror group.

The site was located close to troops of the Nahal Brigade, who spotted the cell, the IDF says.

After tracking the gunmen for a short while, an airstrike was carried out against them. Minutes later, the structure where they had operated was struck by a fighter jet, the IDF says.

The IDF says fighting against Hamas also continues in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis, in the al-Amal neighborhood and the Abasan area on the outskirts of the city.

Meanwhile, airstrikes were carried out against several targets across the Gaza Strip over the past day, including rocket launchers used in an attack last night on Sderot, the IDF adds.
