The IDF confirms carrying out an airstrike in the southern Gaza Strip a short while ago, saying it targeted a group of gunmen who were approaching Israeli forces in the area.

Palestinian media reported that the drone strike killed three Hamas police officers.

“The IDF continues to call on Gazans to obey the IDF instructions and not approach the forces deployed to the area,” the military adds.
