The IDF confirms carrying out an airstrike in the northern Gaza Strip earlier this morning, saying it targeted a group of terror operatives attempting to plant a bomb near troops.
Palestinian media reports said two were killed in the strike, in Gaza City’s eastern Shejaiya neighborhood.
The strike was carried out by an Israeli Air Force drone, and not artillery shelling as Palestinian media reported.
