IDF: At least 24 Gazans killed yesterday were terror group members
The Israeli army says at least 24 of people killed by IDF troops during yesterday’s riots along the Gaza border have been identified as known members of terrorist organizations.
The military says this is based on joint investigations with the Shin Bet security service.
“Most of the people killed belonged to the Hamas terror group, and some to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad,” the army says.
Hamas has acknowledged that at least 10 of its members were killed in Monday’s riots, with Palestinian officials putting the total death toll at 58.
