The IDF releases footage showing its drone strikes on a group of at least 18 gunmen that attacked an army encampment in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis this morning.
During the incident, the terror operatives emerged from a tunnel and opened fire with machine guns and RPGs while approaching the encampment. Some of the gunmen managed to breach the encampment, where they exchanged fire with troops of the Kfir Brigade.
At least 10 of the operatives were killed by the troops and in airstrikes directed by the forces, while eight managed to flee back into the tunnel, according to an army probe.
Three soldiers were injured in the incident, including one in serious condition.
