The IDF says an attack helicopter struck a Hamas site in the Hamad Town residential complex in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis that was used by terrorists who participated in the October 7 onslaught.

The strike killed four operatives, according to the IDF.

The IDF says troops of the Givati Brigade also captured a cache of weapons at a Hamas hideout apartment in the area.

The soldiers seized mortars, explosive devices, assault rifles, and ammunition, the IDF says.
