The IDF says it struck a Hamas pickup truck with armed members of the terror group in it, in the central Gaza Strip yesterday.
According to the military, the Hamas gunmen planned “imminent” attacks on Israeli troops stationed in the area.
“Immediately after the identification, the troops struck the armed terrorists to remove the real threat,” the IDF says.
Palestinian media reported yesterday that four people were killed in an IDF strike on a Hamas police vehicle in Gaza City.
