The Israel Defense Forces releases footage of an airstrike on a Palestinian Islamic Jihad squad that was planning to launch rockets at Israel.
The IDF says it struck a vehicle with several Islamic Jihad operatives who were heading to a rocket launch site near Khan Younis.
“The IDF will continue to operate to preserve the security of Israeli civilians,” the military adds.
Palestinian media reported at least one dead in the strike.
