The Israel Defense Forces publishes footage of an airstrike against a Palestinian Islamic Jihad cell in the Gaza Strip planning to carry out an anti-tank guided missile attack on the Israeli border.

The IDF says the squad was struck as it was taking missiles by car to a launch site.

“IDF soldiers monitored the activity of the squad and struck it while they were on their way to the launch pad,” the military says.
