The IDF confirms it has launched a wave of airstrikes against Hamas targets across the Gaza Strip after terror operatives opened fire on troops earlier today in the Khan Younis area.

The military says that no soldiers were wounded in the attack, which took place on the eastern side of the Yellow Line, meaning IDF-held territory as part of the ceasefire.

The attack “constitutes a violation of the ceasefire agreement,” the military says.

In response, the IDF says the Israeli Air Force has begun to strike Hamas targets across the Strip. Palestinian media have so far reported at least nine dead in the strikes.
