The Israeli military releases new footage showing strikes on a Hamas RPG cell in the Khan Younis area.
The IDF says troops of the Commando Brigade’s Egoz unit spotted the operatives preparing to fire RPGs at the forces, and opened fire toward them.
The gunmen then fled into a building, which was struck by an aircraft. The IDF says secondary explosions seen in the video indicate that the building stored explosives.
Another strike was carried out against additional members of the cell that tried to flee.
The IDF says the Commando Brigade has killed more than 100 Hamas operatives, destroyed dozens of the terror group’s sites, and seized many weapons over the past week in Khan Younis.
In a recent operation, the brigade’s Egoz unit raided a Hamas weapons depot, where the IDF says it located firearms and diving equipment. The unit also raided the home of a Hamas official who the IDF says is close to the terror group’s leader Yahya Sinwar.
