Three Palestinian terror operatives who were planning attacks on troops were killed in strikes in the Gaza Strip yesterday, the military says.

The IDF says the strikes on Thursday killed Qasslam Saleh and Sami Abu Dalal, two platoon commanders in the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, along with Ubay Farwana, a deputy company commander in Hamas.

“The terrorists had been planning to carry out imminent attacks against IDF troops, posed an immediate threat to them, and were eliminated in precise strikes,” the military says.
