The IDF says it carried out a drone strike in central Gaza’s Nuseirat a short while ago, targeting a Palestinian Islamic Jihad operative who was planning an “imminent attack” against troops.

Palestinian media reported that one person was killed and others were injured in the strike that hit a car in the Nuseirat area.

Nuseirat is on the western side of the Yellow Line, meaning it is not under Israeli control according to the terms of the ceasefire.
