The IDF releases footage showing close air support provided to troops of the 98th Division in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis in recent days.

The first clip shows an Israeli Air Force drone identifying a Hamas operative nearing forces of the Paratroopers Brigade.

The drone operators notify the soldiers of the threat, as the operative enters a building a few dozen meters away.

As the operative exits the building, he is struck by the drone, with the footage showing a large explosion, indicating he was armed with explosives.

The second clip shows the moment Hamas gunmen opened fire from a building at troops of the Givati Brigade.

The IDF says the soldiers directed an attack helicopter to the area, and within moments, it struck the Hamas position, killing the operatives.
