The IDF confirms carrying out an airstrike in the central Gaza Strip yesterday, targeting armed Hamas operatives.

According to the military, the Hamas gunmen who were riding in a pick-up truck posed a threat to Israeli forces stationed in the Strip.

After the gunmen were identified, the military says it struck the truck to “remove the threat.”

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