The IDF releases a video showing a drone strike on a member of a Hamas cell that had set up booby traps in southern Gaza’s Rafah.

The military says that the cell had rigged barrels packed with explosives and other explosive devices in the area. They were all eliminated, according to the IDF.

The drone strike was directed by troops of the Nahal Brigade, which has been operating in Rafah under the Gaza Division in recent months.

Amid their operations, the IDF says the troops found weapons and military equipment during searches near a hospital and mosque in Rafah.
