The IDF releases drone footage showing a group of RPG-wielding Hamas operatives being spotted in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis, before being struck by an aircraft.

The three-man Hamas cell was identified by soldiers of the Border Defense Corps’ 636th Combat Intelligence Collection unit, who also called in the strike.

The unit has been operating alongside troops in Khan Younis in recent weeks, locating some 200 tunnel entrances, aiding in destroying more than 130 Hamas sites and nearly a dozen rocket launchers, and targeting numerous Hamas cells, the IDF says.
